Good Afternoon:
I am writing as a community member and supportive customer of A&M BBQ in Sebastopol. I am hearing through the grapevine that there are issues with their restaurant, and I am also hearing t that A&M BBQ is working diligently in trying to rectify any concerns.
A&M BBQ is a family run establishment, something our Sebastopol community supports and appreciates. Supporting another Sebastopoly family seems like a better approach to unity than entertaining a chain establishment such as Little Caesars Pizza. The fact that this little corner "store" is under attack is ridiculous!
Please understand that in a community such as ours, supporting local businesses, family, and friends, is a must! We frequent A&M BBQ often, and losing them would be disastrous to its family, my family, and the community family of Sebastopol. I would like to continue to wear my A&M BBQ sweatshirt proudly as a Sebastopol resident, a supporter of a family and locally run food establishment, and a supporter of the community - while, of course, eating some great out of the box food - which Sebastopol does not have very many of, believe it or not!
Thank you for your positive consideration to A&M BBQ!
Kim
