On May 12, 2000 my wife and I opened this business while holding full time jobs. Some thought this would be too much, we wouldn’t be able to manage, that we’d be out of business in 6 months….they were wrong! Through hard work, determination, a lot of dedication, my wonderful employees and customers, of course, we have succeeded beautifully. I’m so thankful to God and this wonderful community for helping our dream come true.
From the bottom of our hearts….thank you Emporia!
