One of the things I’ve come to appreciate most through this transition is just how fortunate I am to be working with such an amazing team.
These ladies are hardworking, knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely care about the customers they serve. They know their stuff, work incredibly well together, and have made this transition so much easier than I ever could have imagined.
They’re wonderfully self-sufficient. They know what needs to be done, take pride in doing it well, and simply get it done. Knowing I can trust them to take care of things here at the store allows me to focus on everything that comes with taking on a new business without having to worry about what’s happening behind the scenes.
Most importantly, they genuinely work well together — and that’s something special.
And of course, we couldn’t take a team picture without Dave. After 40 years of building this business, the people and relationships he leaves behind are a big part of the legacy he has created.
I feel incredibly lucky to have such a strong, experienced team helping carry that legacy forward, and I’m excited about everything that lies ahead.
Thank you, ladies, for making me feel so welcome and for making this transition such a positive experience. I truly couldn’t ask for a better team.
Here’s to an amazing team, a strong foundation, and an exciting future ahead!
