I have been shopping here for over a year. Today I met the owner for the first time and she's very nice. Today, the inventory was stocked full! The refrigerators were completely full. I like to buy the banana chips in all variations and she had full boxes in the back. I think she said it's possible to buy an entire box but I plan to return and buy more regardless.
