I haven't been to the one in Beaufort in a while but it was a very neat,
tidy store. It was brightly lit. The employees were very helpful. I
just don't have much reason to shop there. For the sake of the workers
I hope it doesn't close. Still, I'm not going out of my way (literally)
to shop at a store that doesn't sell much of anything I need or want.
