Our political opinions are simple to summarize in one word:\u00a0NONE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The president of this company believes that a business is in business to provide products and\/or services and to make a profit, period. A business does not exist as part of a political arm for ANY politician or political party. A business does not exist to relay an opinion as a business because doing so assumes that all of its employees have the exact same position.<\/p>\n

Our president owned a chain of convenience stores from 1995-2001 and even then, when this country wasn\u2019t in such divisiveness, he forbade anyone from displaying their signs on the lawns of the stores regardless of the candidate or political party. It didn\u2019t matter if he personally supported that candidate, never was an exception made. At one location that was directly next to town property where signs could legally be displayed, he personally took all of them down on a nightly basis because he refused to allow customers to even have the impression the store had a political position. He was threated with legal action over this behavior several times and stood his ground. Eventually, no new signs were posted.<\/p>\n

As for your politics, we do not care what your political opinion is either. We\u2019re not in the business of politics. We also don\u2019t cater to any customer on the basis of politics. We never have, we never will. We simply don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

If you run into a product on one of our sites that seems to have a political tone, you\u2019ll also notice that there is a balance of those products. We don\u2019t carry them because we\u2019re political, we carry them because that\u2019s what the customers want to buy, and our customers are entitled to have whatever political opinion they want to. We don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

In dealing with our company, please know that we treat all of our employees fairly and we didn\u2019t need to get involved in the political DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) or ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) nonsense. We are not a publicly held company. We do not answer to stockholders. We refuse to involve ourselves in such discriminatory behavior, which is exactly what DEI and ESG are. You\u2019ll notice and continue to notice that companies that fall under the \u201cspell\u201d of what is known as wokeness are in fact living up to the expectation, \u201cGet woke, go broke!\u201d and we\u2019re not any part of that nor will we ever be.<\/p>\n

You are welcomed to do business with us regardless of your beliefs. We don\u2019t care about that. We treat our customers and our employees with decency and respect, and that\u2019s all that should really matter. Well, beyond that, we also strive to deliver quality products and services at fair prices, certainly important as well, but just know that we are not now nor will we ever be a politically driven company.<\/p>\n

We appreciate your business no matter who you are or what you believe.<\/p>\n
