Overview

• Doors reopened Monday at the Stevens Creek Boulevard location, drawing returning shoppers who had been driving to Sunnyvale during the closure.
• County inspections on Sept. 9–10 found no signs of rodents or cockroaches, allowing the store to resume operations.
• The county suspended the operating permit in April after finding droppings in food-prep areas, live roaches in the bakery, a captured adult roof rat in the deli, and contamination under produce displays.
• Inspection reports cite fixes including trimmed tree branches touching the building, new door sweeps and seals, sealed restroom gaps, and comprehensive sanitation.
• Officials say rodents were potentially coming from a nearby field, state limits on anticoagulant rodenticides factored into the lengthy timeline after a waiver was denied, and unannounced inspections will continue.
