We would like to include the members and community in our decisions for what items we should carry in the store. We might not be able to accommodate everyone’s tastes but we will do our best to take every recommendation under advisement. If you have any recommendations please feel free to either e-mail marshriverordering@gmail.com or come into the store(I’ll have a sheet at the register).
