Kids can sometimes be a distraction to parents. We've solved that problem by catering to the kids. We have several "kid-sized" chairs in our write-up area. Kids are attracted to anything that's just their size. They head straight for the chairs and are occupied long enough to make your brief service reception time easy.

We couldn't stop there. We also have a "kid-sized" recliner. It's a real recliner and the kids just love it.

We realized that still might not be enough. So, we have 2 Disney channels and the Cartoon Network on the TV.

We have a VCR, too. If you prefer, bring a tape you'd like your kids to see. Parents can control the whole environment or just turn them loose, whatever they wish.

We won't offer the kids a soft drink unless you say it's OK. We also have Popsicles, ice cream bars and fudge bars. Be a kid yourself if you want.

If the kids are a little older, they'll really like watching MTV with a Coke or Pepsi. Most repeat customers tell me their kids are excited when they find out they're coming to our shop.

Parents, take a break and bring the kids.
