Who is a Zippys Pizza customer?

I went to the Dollar General General Store last night on one of those last minute OMG, we're out of something runs and the two ladies working there, Lori and Kellie began telling me how good Zippy's food is and how much they enjoy eating here.
I stood at the counter with my handsoap, toilet paper & 20 oz cups, thinking "how nice".all this is and then it hit me, Zippys DEPENDS on these people. The ordinary working folks of this small East Texas town. The men and women who work every day and every day feed their families. 
Who do we NOT depend upon? Mostly the people in town who told us "It'll never work! A pizza joint just wont fly here in this town" Those are the same people who travel forty and fifty miles to eat a meal when they could support several perfectly good restaurants right here. Those are unfortunately the same group that has a hand in controlling who and who doesnt work, what they buy, where they go, how good the schools are and what industires and businesses come and go.
The men and women who shop here at Zippy's (there's a LOT of them! We have a GREAT busniess!) are down to Earth, solid people that struggle financially but who, by and large, pay bills and generally make stuff run in America.
So...Zippy's customers come from all walks of life. After three years here we are seeing more and more of the people who said it cant be done sneak in and treat themselves to good pizza and more. They think I aint watching them but I am!
I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone out there who understands that Zippys stands for great food at a fair price and who vote for us with their pocketbooks every day of the week.
Oh,  Lori & Kellie at Dollar General? Well, today they had lunch with us and we made their food with just a little extra pride and a few big old smiles!
