It’s been a while since I posted this list, but we have been tracking the store openings in the background. Business has been crazy busy lately, but Melissa from my office has helped keep it accurate and up to date. Many thanks to her.
It’s strange how things work out. I have historically posted this list every month or two. However, this new store announcements list covers at least three months and really provides a good reflection of recent national activity. It’s a new world that we live in, but this list goes beyond being informational, it motivational.
