Convenience Store Security

The Consumer Environmental Health Division performs safety related inspections of convenience food stores. A convenience store is defined as a licensed food operation, including a filling station with less than 5000 square feet of retail sales space that has as its primary business the sale of basic food times and in addition sells household products.

The requirements for Convenience Food Stores can be found in Chapter 68-4.3 of The Milwaukee Code of Ordinances
