Our nation has replaced Biblical Values with the false idol of humanism and moral relativism, but we’re not staying silent and neither should you.

He said that the Stonestown landlord refused to negotiate an affordable and long-term rent.

Rodrick stated that the shared mall tenant fees and property taxes were the most expensive paid by the company for a single site.

He said that the cost of running a business in San Francisco is continuing to rise at an unprecedented rate. The new minimum wage of $20 for California fast-food workers added to the pressure to keep this location open.

Rodrick stated, “This is an incredibly difficult day for my entire family.”

He said that all the employees had been offered jobs in nearby locations and the vast majority will stay with the company.
