Same for Subway sales area cove and subway support room.4). Separate water line for chemical dispensers is in at the mop sinks.5). Several areas will receive a washable tile, subway area, subway front service area, gas station prep room and gas station room with ice machines.6). Water treatment will be a filter system and not RO. Plumbing is not in place but will probably be installed after filter is installed.

This address holds 2 food permits

Maricopa County issues a separate permit for each kitchen rather than for each restaurant name, so large properties hold several. Each is inspected and scored on its own. The county does not publish which kitchen serves which venue.
