• Our staff and guests are required to wear protective face coverings in all indoor and communal areas.

• We are screening our team members daily to help ensure they are safe and healthy.

• We are minimizing hand to hand interactions at the point of sales by accepting contactless payment methods and encouraging online purchases and can provide curbside delivery upon request.
