Happy Tuesday,

Well, I’m finally in Manchester, NH at our new store to make final preparations for our grand opening this Saturday. There’s still a ton of work to get done, but I know that the group we assembled will have everything finished on time and done properly.

I interviewed another candidate for the last open position, and made my choice. I sure am looking forward to having the whole team together! Over the past few months I’ve done dozens of interviews, and turned away plenty of candidates who weren’t the perfect match.

Working as many hours as we have been over the past several months, I just couldn’t leave Owen at home for these long work days. In fact, he’s come to work almost every single day since he was nine weeks old. My mother deserves huge thanks for watching Owen with her own two golden retrievers Grace and Hamilton. Thanks, mom!

As always, thanks for reading, and keep in touch.
