FAMILY REUNION AKA SHOP HOP

I have been smiling for three days straight now. I just love the shop hop as it is like a bi family reunion. I have seen customers I have not seen in awhile and so happy to see them. We started out with our store in Elkhorn from 1997-2006 and then in Gretna from 2006-2008 then off to Fremont. During that time we have met so many wonderful people and funny as some of our customers we now have their children as customers. (Im feeling old) LOL Thank you so much for being a part of our business and we are so thankful for you!
