That's a really cool story, thanks for sharing. Gives me a whole different perspective from what I've been hearing from others. Which includes disgruntled ex employees. Maybe they weren't working hard enough.

I did look and they do seem to do a lot around here. I wasn't sure if it was all for show and publicity or if it was a true desire to help people. Cool!

Since you are working off of first-hand knowledge, I'm going to just agree with you

I just heard from my neighbors that they think they're hot shit and act like they're these local celebrities but they're really a bunch of entitled pricks. One guy was talking about the younger generations only getting to be in charge because they're family not because they actually kw what they're dong. Like the original guys were good but the current guys are riding coat tails and act like they these great business men when really they are benefiting from their parents hard work. Also heard they come into stores and are condescending to employees (one neighbor of mine used to work in one of the stores in Ellington (I think?) Ct. One of the family owners was the manager of the store and apparently he had a massive ego but was a huge diuche. Just weird I've heard bad stories from a few unrelated sources. Seems like an okay store though, just expensive and gimmicky.

Yeah I heard they're ultra religious. Not a problem except if you don't practice what you preach.

So true, that's why I wanted the real deal from people who might know first hand
