Testimonials
“There is this young African American lady who checked me out and she as absolutely outstanding. Service was great and, although I didn’t need help finding anything at first, she offered her assistance when I walked in. She as absolutely lovely. Then there was another young African American lady who helped me out on another day, so kind. She helped me find a tiny water dropper thing for my pets and she had no problem stopping what she was doing to show me. I don’t expect such amazing customer service and experience from many places but they have kept me coming back, not just because it is the closest to my house, but because they both had no issue whatsoever and were amazing individuals.”
