Other Exciting News

The swap to the Basil POS platform, and corresponding inventory updates, will occur in May. Contracts are being contracted! We'll take May and June to process All the Things™ and then, starting in July ... NEW HOURS.

Can't announce them yet, because some affected stakeholders haven't been notified, but we'll increase our hours, add evenings hours, and accommodate consistent weekend hours. Stay tuned!
