EsoWon asks neighbors to help them move on up the street

On March 1, EsoWon is moving about 10 feet north on Degnan Blvd. to a smaller store, just one store away from where they are now. 

"We are excited about the move," owner Jamses Fugate said. "It's less space and cheaper rent. This move will help us greatly."

Fugate asks the community to help - stop by and make an offer and he'll put you to work.
