LOAD IN OPTIONS:

Loading Dock: Expect some congestion.  You will need to unload your vehicle, then go park, then come back to set up and merchandise.

We have found that there is a steady stream all day and not a "good time" or "bad time" to come.  The earlier you come the cooler it is.  Lunch time and after 6p tend to be the busiest.

Do not unpack or merchandise anything until you have moved your vehicle from the loading dock area.
