Overview

7-Eleven Store #23498J in Fort Lauderdale had three inspections on record between August 2022 and July 2023.

The inspection also cited soil buildup on tongs in the retail area (corrected on site), a handwashing sink blocked by stored crates (corrected on site), and absence of a handwashing sink in the retail coffee and hot dog toppings area, which required installation within 30 days.
