Anyway, the 13 violations cited are not all that unusual for The Villages. You might be surprised on the number for some restaurants. If you go to the link below you will find a list of several restaurants in just Sumter Co that have had more, even up to 40 violations in one restaurant. I would guess that the reason this McDonalds was closed down, whereas others weren't, is because of the unusually high number of violations that were more serious than the basic violations (6 of the 13) along with the critical nature in a few of those 6 violations.

We live near this McDonalds but we don't frequently get food from there. Would I have a problem with going there for food after this closure? Judging by past inspections and comparing with other restaurants in the area, I'd have to say I wouldn't have a problem Besides, when they reopen they'll probably be the safest place to go... for at least a while anyway!

Restaurant Inspections
This is one of the busiest McDonald's I personally have seen. Apparently too busy to follow clean health practices. The other thing I have observed that this McDonald's appeared to have a difficult time keeping employees.

This is a franchise restaurant not company owned. They own several in this area.

I suspect that "heads will roll" and like Skyguy said, it will be a very safe place to go. By the way, very good coffee. Bottom line, they very much need some competion in this area of TV.
