Debby's Drive-Thru Coffee in Sudbury is set to reopen after a temporary closure due to health safety issues. Owner Debby Johnston and new owner Kerani Verma collaborated with Sudbury's Director of Public Health, Vivian Zeng, to address concerns and create a new health plan. This partnership highlights the importance of communication between small businesses and health authorities.
• The closure was prompted by food safety disputes regarding breakfast sandwich preparation.
• A meeting led to a solution involving disposable microwaveable cups for cooking eggs, ensuring compliance with health standards.
• Johnston will step back from daily operations but remain involved as Verma takes over.
• The community has shown support, but Johnston urged against sending negative messages to health officials.
This reopening is significant as it showcases how local businesses can work with health departments to resolve issues. It emphasizes the value of collaboration in maintaining public health while supporting beloved community establishments.
