“The store has a new manager, Jason. I made a comment about product availability on line. And amazing...Jason called me to talk things over. Very nice open exchange. I had occasion to meet Jason while I was shopping. I knew he must be "somebody" because he was all over the store, checking things out, talking to customers. I spoke to him about some of my concerns and observations. He agreed with me, and in fact was already working on the areas. Anyway...if you need help ask, and if you have a comment, good or bad, I think the store manager genuinely wants to hear about it. I was in the store on August 7th. Wow! Who did the floors? They snap. Makes the entire store more inviting. And, so long as I'm rambling anyway....the employees in this store continue to rock. Always super helpful and friendly. Ok. I'm done. Good store. Good people.”
