General Comments

Observed no self service salad bar or self service items available at time of inspection. Per conversation with PIC, salad bar was removed from service and salad items are not being offered. Tentative plans exist to replace floor space that held salad bar with multiple mobile merchandise coolers to sell food packaged within the produce department (I.E. produce, bean dip trays, etc.) EHS advises PIC and management reach out to Mecklenburg County Health Department at 980-314-1620 prior to placement and use of cold holding equipment, such that said equipment can be verified and approved.
