We didn't expect.

I did not expect that this year.

People have been very intentional about spending and shopping with small businesses.

And so we have felt that and it has been demonstrated in our numbers.

We're definitely up from where we were this time last year.

I would say sales are up about 15% from where we were this time last year.

The biggest challenge by far has been...

supply chain.

We have just had so many delays in receiving our shipments and it has caused tremendous backup for us when it comes to being able to produce for our clients.

For instance, wax

Our typical brand that we use is not available, so we'd have to explore other options.

So that's what I'm doing today is driving around the city to figure out where I can get wax from so that we can keep our classes going, so we can get orders out and just make sure that we are doing our due diligence with meeting timelines and meeting customer expectations.
