This post is simply slander

Whoever took the time to post this garbage must not have anything better to do than slander a small business that is simply trying to earn an honest living. I have owned this store for three years. It is not for sale. It is has lost money in the past (as many small businesses do), but it has been profitable now for a few months.

If you live and work in Fountain Hills you know the success of small businesses is not great. In our three years, we have seen at least 4 or 5 merchants in our shopping center close and walk away from their investment. I have not done that. Yes the store was for sale for a short time, due to the demands of two other stores. We have had no complaints lodged with any organization including the Better Business Bureau. We have many satisfied customers. Fact is, our prices our lower in Fountain Hills than all other Data Doctors stores in the valley.

Whoever is saying this garbage about me and my business is simply a pitiful person with some kind of grudge who does not have the guts to say these things to my face. You know who you are. Perhaps the mentally challenged employee I terminated a couple years ago? You haven't moved on with your life I guess. Anyone with questions about this, feel free to call me.

I can attest to the above post.
I knew the idiot owner sometime back and can say without a doubt that he butchered up that business.
