Well this is it. As of March 1st 2022 John's Chip Off The Old Block is officially out of business. Time for a new chapter/challenge for me. It's been a great 14 years and I thank all of my friends, family and customers who've supported me during this time. Not sure what the future holds but I do know it'll be rewarding. Thank you everyone. I'll be closing this Facebook account at the end of the week.
