The company does much charity work.
That's pretty awesome, not just for the education support, but for the trades aspect of it, which is sorely needed.

I like JR's A lot, and its a great mom and pop store, perfect for that type of stuff for camp use. My problem is that its a 40 minute round trip for me not counting the time in the store. So unless I am heading in that direction which is rare, I tend to not make the trip for a small item and I usually need it when I'm looking for it.
