“He just took it and ran with it,” Ed says of Curt. “He’s ready. I can tell it, I can sense it, I can see it. It’s the most exciting thing for me, to see my son involved in the business.

“We just try to do a good job every day for someone other than ourselves,” Curt responds. It’s not e=mc2 or anything. It’s just what you do. Every day you wake up, put on your shoes and go to the store. I just try to do things a little differently: offer more choices, more selection, the best product we can find. I keep a constant look out for our customers.”

“I just sit back as a proud father and say, ‘Well done, son. Well done.’” Says Ed. “That’s what it’s all about. It’s about the memories.”
