Score
Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Jun 4, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around two violations to closer to seven violations.

Across the inspection history, “insects, rodents & animals not present” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

The city-wide average sits at 81, which Speedway No 02829's 67 doesn't quite reach. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
