Additionally, a distinction is being like-minded, which is important to us.  We are known as being somewhat of a lighthouse where people can feel safe sharing their thoughts and feelings, and we have become a harbor for those who want to share and be supported by a strong faith-based friendship.  We believe the purpose of business in our location(s) is to lend stability to the larger community by acting in ways that support a shared commitment to ideas, to issues, to values, to goals, and to management process (this is true for customers and associates) ...as stated in our Customer Promise these things enable work to have meaning and be fulfilling in our relationships.  We are a company that is not ashamed of our stand for the truth, for what's right, and for our Biblically based business principles and practices like practicing the Golden Rule "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" ~ Luke 6:31.  Integrity, honesty and good values are important to us.  We look for similar qualities, and a few more, in each of our prospective franchisees.
