Allegan County eatery cited for 'many' leaks in kitchen ceiling

Each month, the Allegan County Health Department inspects restaurants, schools and other facilities for unsafe food practices. Adhering to proper safety practices is critical to preventing foodborne illness and promoting public health. ACHD recently completed an online portal for viewing reports, available at allegancounty.org/health/environmental-health/food . The Sentinel is sharing "priority" violations — those that could "directly lead to contamination of food or increase the risk of transmitting a foodborne illness" — from Holland, Hamilton, Saugatuck, Douglas and Fennville in the month of October, as well as corrective measures taken. The Sentinel will also report on "priority foundation" violations — ones that could lead to a priority violation. The health department notes "core" violations, but The Sentinel will only report on those if there's a significant accumulation in a single eatery or if that eatery also has more serious violations.

The restaurant is no longer listed on the Bojangles website and is shown as permanently closed in a Google search. The Bojangles opened on Feb. 3 this year. Meritage Hospitality Group Inc. , one of the nation’s largest restaurant operators, on Friday, Sept. 17, announced that it had voluntarily filed petitions for relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan. Meritage, based at 45 Ottawa Ave. SW in Grand Rapids, had 314 Wendy’s, one Bojangles and five independently branded dining concepts across 15 states, according to a release about the bankruptcy filing. The Meritage website no longer lists Bojangles among its operations. “We are disappointed that our Grand Rapids restaurant has closed as a result of financial challenges facing Meritage Hospitality Group, the parent company of our franchisee, Chicken Ventures," the company said in a statement to the
