## FAQ
1. **Hi, is your Brooklyn location opened or closed? Yelp, says it’s closed. Thank you.**
   - Hi, Kevin. We did close that location. Pandemic pivot to delivery only and after a successful funding round we're going to 3 delivery only locations. We are already looking at locations--5 in the metro area--following a Round A fundraise.
2. **Consider Stamford, CT, if you are still interested in a non delivery only location. A restaurant named Jerkyz has recently relocated from Harlem to Stamford and they have been embraced here pretty nicely.**
   - Okay. CT was not on my radar. But it is definitely within our scope. I did take a site tour of New Haven last summer. I will include Stamford in my next visit.
3. **Hi Gillian, Is there anyway I can talk to you? Future investor with some great ideas that will help the company expand tremendously. Thank you.**
