“Thank you for the past 20 years to all the Craig and surrounding area people and customers. I’ve built a lot of relationships over the last 20 years. I also want to thank all of my wonderful employees I’ve had over the last 20 years. Tammy, that’s been with me for ten. My boys that have been with me. Thank you to all you people out there.”

Miller is aiming to close the store by the end of the month, but may stay open a few more weeks into January to wrap things up and clean up the building. He says there isn’t a lot left, but to come on in he’ll make you a deal.
