Quotable

“On March 17th, we issued an 8-K saying we felt that the impacts of the crisis would be material. And they will be. What I’ll say is that they’ll be material but short-lived. Yes, we’ve got… about 75% of our stores closed. And that has an impact, of course. A major one on sales. But so does the rest of the industry. And in the grand scheme of things, if it’s a few weeks or some low single digit of months where we’re prioritizing the safety of our customers and our people, that’s something we’re well-positioned to get through. You know, this is a recurring revenue business and where people have an ongoing subscription. And we’re the value player in this market. So, we’re here to serve them. We think over the long haul… nothing in our thesis is changed. And the potential we’ve been talking about on the merger is as exciting as ever.
