Stopped here for some 🐶 shampoo/conditioner, shop was closed cause they had a company outing to the Cubs game. Manager pulled up while I was trying to figure out which one to walk to next. Instead, invited me in, gave his recommendation on the house. Will certainly be a repeat customer!!! Thank you. Thank you very much.
