Cathy Merlino Quotations

We are a very tight family, we spend a lot of time together. With our kids, the first question that came out of their mouth was 'are we still going to have dinner together as a family?' It has been important for Anthony and I to make sure that happens. Sometimes it means grabbing a pizza here at the store, but we are still together.

We don't really know how business is. There is nothing to gauge it against, there is no one out there doing what we are doing.

We've put our whole hearts into this and we are just so excited to see where it goes.

This is really something that we believe in, something the whole family has made a connection with. Opening the store was a big risk, but we never would have taken it if we didn't really believe it would succeed.

The truth is, we don't know what the future holds for us. The season is just getting under way, so we are expanding our hours to accommodate what we hope will be increased activity.
