Fast food fans in Florida know there’s no shortage of quick, cheap eats. With many fast food chains offering value meals for under $5, there’s always an option when you’re craving something fast and affordable. But one popular chain hit a bump in the road recently—a Wendy’s location in Miami was temporarily shut down after a state health inspection uncovered some serious issues.
What You Should Know About Wendy’s in Florida
Wendy’s has been around since 1969, known for its fresh, never-frozen square burgers. It’s a fast food staple with over 521 locations across Florida, many of which are franchised. The Miami location that faced the inspection trouble is at 13901 S Dixie Highway, and while it holds a 3.9-star rating on Google, it seems not all customers are thrilled with their experience.
So, What Went Wrong During the Inspection?
The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation conducted a routine inspection on September 3, 2024, and found six violations at this Wendy’s location. Some were basic, like rust found in the ice machine, a broken door on the walk-in freezer, and dust gathering behind the monitors. They also noted that the sanitizing solution wasn’t up to the right strength.
