Exprezo in Palm Springs
Last inspected:
4567 S Congress Ave, Palm Springs, FL 33461Exprezo #135, a convenience store in Palm Springs, has had 7 inspections since May 2024, all driven by critical documentation failures involving water and sewage infrastructure. Two stop-use orders issued September 26, 2024 required immediate removal of equipment or product due to violations of Florida Food Law regarding water and ice from approved sources. The facility has been unable to provide documentation of an approved water source or approved sewer/wastewater disposal system across six consecutive inspections from May through November 2024, each triggering re-inspection requirements. As of January 17, 2025, the facility was operating without a valid food permit, with an application submitted but not yet approved pending resolution of the water and sewage documentation deficiencies.
