“Giving back to the community is important to us. These programs directly benefit the families who patronize our business. If we can give a child a leg up in literacy skills, it’s a good choice for us and our kids.”

“I accompanied a terrified little girl into court to testify. I told her my dog liked to be hugged and she immediately wrapped herself around him. That gesture gave her the courage to speak up. It doesn’t get any better than that."
