Dollar Tree # 2108 Establishment #: in Fort Pierce
Last inspected:
415 Georgia Ave, Fort Pierce, FL 34950Part of: Dollar Tree Florida health inspections, violations & closures
Dollar Tree #2108 in Fort Pierce has experienced significant pest contamination issues requiring multiple enforcement actions in 2025. A stop-sale order issued May 9, 2025 required the immediate destruction of various bread products after they were found adulterated; the bread was voluntarily destroyed and witnessed by the inspector. The same date, stop-use orders were issued for the back room left side and all food receiving areas due to evidence of pest contamination — both areas were subsequently cleaned, sanitized, and released. An earlier inspection on April 23, 2025 documented a dead rodent in the backstock area where bread was stored, rodent chew marks on loaves of bread, heavily dented cans, and missing handwashing supplies, resulting in stop-sale and stop-use orders; the facility was required to develop and implement a pest management control program. The April 24 focused inspection released all stop-use orders after verification of corrections. The most recent inspection on May 9, 2025 identified five additional violations including food stored directly on the floor in the back room and retail area, dust buildup on coolers, debris on food shelving, and an uncovered bathroom trash can, and resulted in a re-inspection requirement. The facility has four total inspections on record with no prior violations documented before April 2025.
