    As several people have mentioned most of the final demise of this place was due service and astetics unfortunately due to the owner. Hopefully someone will replace this location. Only time will tell. From what I remember this place originally opened in 1997 so it had its run for 28 years.

    Pretty pathetic and rude of Jason Fitzpatrick to celebrate people losing their jobs just bc the stores OWNER refused to ever change anything, which is what led to them closing. The employees were never the problem, and their equipment didn’t work. The people who worked here were always short staffed and busting their butts to get things done. Pray you never fall on hard times since you’re so apathetic.

    They suck. I have exciting news, as of 12/28/2025, they have closed. That's why I gave them a five star review. It was about time they closed.
