"Let me tell you how amazing Natalie (TD Bank Store Manager-Harlem) is. She had a great opportunity where a big box store closed and left all of their furniture. She was able to make the connection. We were able to get all these tables and chairs. We had to have two moving trucks to get it all. Natalie helped us save thousands of dollars, like that was awesome! That helped us tremendously. And she's just been our partner, like our third partner in a sense."
