Gm. It’s really great to see a company competing in a market that is dominated by Starbucks. Couple of years ago I stopped going to Starbucks because of there woke attitude. Then they sealed the deal not taking cash. Your coffee is way better at a better price. Would be great if you guys came into the upstate ny market. Keep up the good work.
