When you go to the grocery store you’re looking for quality products and affordable prices. You’re probably not considering how the shop performed on its previous health inspection. After all, it isn’t preparing food in the same way as local restaurants. However, grocery stores go through the same health and quality control inspections as restaurants in the community as well. One local grocery store in metro Phoenix has an attached restaurant. This restaurant performed poorly enough to receive a D grade on its inspection (despite the grocery store passing the same inspection).

Restaurants, when it comes time for them to close up shop for good, often make some kind of grand announcement. There is a desire to let the community know about what is going on with the business. Whether it is a last-ditch effort to bring in some extra business or a final opportunity to say goodbye, the majority of restaurants do their part to inform patrons. However, not all restaurants do this. Some seem to close in the middle of the night, never to be heard from again. For one local metro Phoenix restaurant, that’s exactly what happened. The closure was such a surprise even some employees didn’t even know about it.
