Our Values
Great businesses and deep relationships are built over years and decades
Building, operating, and growing a small business is hard work, which is exactly why it's worth it
We believe in relationships above transactions - with teammates, customers, venders, and sellers
Every business (including ours) can get better with humility and the drive to get better every day
