Six Months Down and Many, Many Years To Go

Preamble by Dan Sipka

Wow, I can't believe it has been a full six months since taking over the Market as of yesterday. Time has flew by and we are already right around the corner from Christmas. I have enjoyed every minute of owning this store and I am still learning a lot. I love when someone who hasn't been here before walks in for the first time. I get giddy to give them a tour of our "Adult Candy Store" and hope they return again.

Thank you to all of our customers who have continued to support us. One of my favorite parts of owning the Market is creating relationships with you all and getting to know you on a personal level. You make everyday at the market better.

I also want to shout out our staff who have been INCREDIBLE since day one of taking over ownership. I appreciate all your hard work and dedication. It makes my day when I get a message from someone commenting how awesome the customer service and staff was on their last visit, which is quite often! Thank you all for being yourself and working so hard to keep this store a place where people want to come back to.
