Overview

Family Dollar #7634 in Lake Park has been operating under significant compliance challenges related to permitting and water infrastructure documentation. The facility was found operating with an expired food permit during an August 2025 inspection and has been unable to provide documentation proving its drinking water comes from an approved source and its sewage is disposed through an approved facility—a requirement under Florida Administrative Code Rule 5K-4.004(3)(a). This water and sewage documentation issue was first cited in June 2024, repeated in November 2024, and remains unresolved as of August 2025. An additional violation in June 2024 documented the lack of written procedures for employees to respond to vomiting or diarrhea events. A re-inspection is scheduled for approximately 14 days after the August 12, 2025 visit to verify compliance. The facility is directed to renew its food permit through the FDACS online portal or by contacting the Business Center at 850-245-5520 and to submit water and sewage documentation to [email protected] within 30 days, with notice that failure to comply may result in administrative action.
