Andy, Nick, Mike and our families have owned this business for more than 6 years. On Monday, November 24, 2014, our store was vandalized and looted for the second time in three months. This time, a considerable amount of inventory was taken, display cases were shattered, shelving was destroyed, and a small fire damaged the interior of the building. This has created a tremendous hardship on our families as well as the Ferguson residents who frequent our store.

We would love to reopen and continue to serve the residents of Ferguson, but we need your help. We created this account to assist us in repairing the significant building damage and to replace the inventory that was taken.
