QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
Our phone line is on auto attendant so there will not be a person to answer. Please feel free to leave a message. However, the voicemail is not checked regularly and we will not return calls asking what days/ hours we are open (please listen to the auto attendant or see hours on this site) . If you have a concern please shoot us an email. If you are calling or writing to complain consider whether it is worth your breath and ours. We are a small operation with BIG dreams, we work our butts off to serve the community but we have families and they come first and foremost. Be patient, be kind, show grace, remember caps off is not that big of a deal and FINALLY our staff does NOT make the rules they enforce them.
