“Our business has been really good; I’m opening a second store [and] I needed to come to market so I can actually touch, see, and feel. This is such a big part of our business is coming to market and finding new things and the innovation. And you just can't do that with a catalog and you just can't do it online. We were a little unsure how this market was going to work [but] it's been great. I've not seen one person that hasn't had a mask on. Everybody's been very polite, very cordial. This has been the cleanest market I've ever seen. It was easy for us and I felt totally safe.”
