Notable quote for week of May 19

We noticed a gap in terms of what people were providing to the community. It’s more than just sales, it’s more than just supplements, it’s about actually providing an experience to the community, so whenever they hear Stack’d or they hear Stack’d Supplements, they know what we’re about.

This year’s turnout was greater than the previous year; within 75 minutes, scores of customers had formed a line around half the building waiting to get in. Store employees handed out free bags with shirts, bracelets, shakers and koozies while vendors provided free supplement samples.
