In order to make sure that all of our customers are able to get the very best experience possible, it has been decided by the management team that the store hours will be extended on weekends. This change was made because of the fact that alot of customers have been asking for it for a really long time. starting next month, the store will be open untill 9 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, and we really think that this is going to be something that customers will enjoy very much.
