Comments: Request#5150684. I visited the food entity to talk to person in charge about this request and to let them know that there was
nothing to release and she had no idea who had called to put in that request. I had called the person who contacted our business
center and he was the landscaper that did the work around the outside of the food entity's building by cutting back trees that were
touching the building. Person in charge stated that the landscaper was supposed to let Dollar General's management know that he
had completed the work, not FDACS.
