I'm grateful to have a local, small store in our neighborhood. They carry all the needed staples. Johnny and Dane are always there with a smile and good conversation. The store is clean and welcoming.

Employees are very nice and accommodating they are always working really hard with a happy demeanor. Better than most of the Plaids I've been to. The place is always really clean. They seem to be short staffed but they get it done. Thanks for your service it's always a pleasure going in.
