Rising Above Challenges
"Despite the obvious challenges our company faced in 2020, including mandated store closures, high demand, and long production delays due to strained supply chains, I am pleased with how we weathered the storm as a team," continued Brown.

She believes that the company's commitment to innovation is another reason it sees continued success, propelling the business forward during an arduous year. "Part of our company culture includes 'rising to to the occasion' and 'forging ahead.' We did both of these things in 2020 by successfully renovating our Pineville, NC location; relocating our North Charlotte, NC location; and improving customer engagement through a variety of technological improvements. This dedication contributed to our success. We believe these investments will prove fruitful in years to come."
