Visited Mirage Market. This store is in the process of being transferred to a new ownership. This store has applied for a retail Grocery Store but was never permitted and permit was not issued. Retail Grocery Class II - A permit to sell pre-packaged foods from an approved source only including TCS foods stored in a commercial refrigerator or freezer. Retail Grocery Class III - A permit to sell pre-packaged foods from an approved source only including TCS foods stored in a commercial refrigerator or freezer with the allowance to break down non-TCS foods into smaller packages. THs requires the installation of a NSF approved three compartment sink and additional hand wash sink and washable finsishes for floors/ walls and ceiling in the area where you break down foods and wash utensils. If you want to proceed you will need to follow up on the items below while the store is still under the current ownership so a permit can be usued; 1). Go online at the state website (search Cottage Law Arizona) and register. 2). Obtain a food handlers card. 3). Remove all the bulk foods from the store. 4). Re-package the food items you would like to break down at home and bring to the store with the proper labelling as directed by the state on their website. Note that only Non-TCS foods may be broken down and re-packaged. No cream, dairy, meats etc. 5). Install washable ceiling tiles over the mop sink. (2). Caulk mop sink at the wall juncture. 6), Make sure all refrigeration equipment is commercial, home style freezers are not allowed.
