(KRON) — A South Bay Whole Foods location that was closed earlier this year due to a vermin infestation remains closed more than four months later. The Cupertino Whole Foods location at 20955 Stevens Creek Blvd. was closed back in April after an inspection by the County of Santa Clara Department of Environmental Health uncovered evidence of a vermin infestation.
