What were your first thoughts on Covid-19 when it hit?
Eddie Buckley: We were freaking out a bit because we were uncertain if they would let us stay open and also worried people would just start killing over in the streets.
Did you take any action from the start or were you thinking this would be over in a few weeks?
Eddie Buckley: We took action pretty much right away. I have a friend, Sharon Cook, that works for the State of Utah. Sharon gave me a bit of a heads up on how to protect ourselves, our customers,

James Colella: I remember thinking it was going to get interesting, I was trying to think how I could make business still work and I had KR masks made really early, I think ordering them late February but as a joke, within a couple weeks people were lined up outside the shop waiting in the morning to buy one.
