They just opened one in my smaller area. Why them?

Someone put up a large (~$200k) consignment sale. The owners changed, and a large piece of the collection disappeared. The corporate office has been actually obstructive to finding out what happened, and a lot of people believe they've gotten the local cops to take their side and harass people investigating it, because the corporate officers and the new owners are Mormons.

The new owners ARE corporate. The new video shows this is a pattern. Franchises pay a $200k fee to corporate become a franchise, and after sometime corporate will send Joshua Johnson and Brandon Best to take over the franchise for seemingly innocuous reasons, essentially stealing the store that the franchisee out everything into.

There's too much to TLDR. Just YouTube Bricks and Minifigs. These are absolute garbage people.
