A video gone viral leads to the closure of a fast food restaurant in Franklin County: the video shows a mouse on a drink cup at the McDonalds in Lavonia. The restaurant operator says pest control professionals are investigating. Terry Shugart posted the following on Facebook…
“We are very sorry for the experience at our restaurant as the safety of our employees and customers is our top priority. Our vigilance for delicious food and a safe environment has never wavered since we first opened our doors back in 2011. All of our restaurants are routinely inspected by the Department of Health in addition to our regular internal inspections. Our most recent inspection was just this past Thursday, Nov. 15 and our restaurant received a 99 – an A-rating. As soon as we were made aware of this issues, we have been taking immediate steps and out of extra precaution, we are choosing to temporarily close the restaurant and have the Department of Health and a pest control company perform an inspection. We appreciate your patience and your patronage and will share an update as soon as the restaurant has been reopened.”
