We have transitioned to a new credit card system to provide more efficient service. Consequently, a 3% admin fee has been applied for all credit transactions moving forward. As a courtesy, we are applying a 3 % “Cash Discount” to all transactions using cash, check, or pin debit card payments! If you use any of these forms of payment, you will not be charged the additional admin fee. We still accept various electronic payments for your convenience, but credit card transactions do not apply to receive this discount.
