Over the past weekend, signs at the store, at 811 Clinton St., said the Health Department had suspended their license to sell food and beverages.
“Our Clinton Street store temporarily stopped selling food items last week due to a pest control issue,” explained Amy Thibault of CVS on Monday. “We worked closely with pest control and the Department of Health to rectify the issue and passed an inspection earlier today. We expect to resume selling food items immediately.”

Hoboken public safety spokesperson Marci Rubin said, “The Hoboken Division of Health suspended the food and beverage license of CVS Store #2209, 811 Clinton St., last week, for violating multiple codes regarding rodent infestations and adulterated food. The order, which followed inspections on July 8 and 9, required the store to remove all food and beverage items from shelving until further notice.”
