We know this is more important than ever right now. We are closely monitoring the updates from reliable sources like the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19).

We ensure everyone that the resources to stay healthy will continue to be available within our store. A policy has been put in place to routinely clean products, door handles, countertops, etc. throughout the day in a greater effort to keep our employees and customers safe.  In these uncertain times, expect that we will give you a warm hello and a sincere smile, but that we will not shake your hand to avoid passing germs. 

In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, we encourage our associates to:
