The store failed to open at the scheduled time.

Business reply on Google

Frank. Our apologies for the inconvenience… definitely disappointing when we are unable to open as planned. Unfortunately our two openers were involved in a minor car crash with a deer this morning on their way to work. We will be opening at 8:00 this morning. We look forward to serving you soon, and apologize again for the unplanned late opening.
