We're looking to add a drive-thru window into our canvas store, which is something that we had mentioned all along when we were going through the process with the town and with our first site plan review that we car wash was set up for that. We'll have a sign here as you come around the building that will state that uh the drive-thru is the pickup only. Everyone can I place the uh one of them signs are right on the bench there for it. Yes. Um everybody in the vehicle must be 21 years of age. Um and as they then proceed after reading that sign, they'll proceed to over here with the beer speaker, which they'll talk to the person that checks IDs, and they'll also verify again that everyone in the vehicle is 21 years of age and has a valid license on them because they will be checked. If at that time they're not, there's ample amount of room in Joshua's at the facility the other day that they can pull out and not affect traffic flow or anything else. If they adhere to all to the uh 21, they'll drive up into the self-served bay that was there. Um when we put our initial site plan through, we we now have park we we've been using those spots for parking, but they were never counted in our parking, so it's not affecting our park our parking in anyway. They'll pull up into the uh self-server, the drive-thru bay. Um there'll be a window there. Everybody in the vehicle, all the windows will be down. There's three cameras in the bay looking at the vehicle. Everybody in the vehicle pass their IDs forward, their IDs will all be scanned, make sure that they're valid, and then handed back. Person who's making the purchase, their ID will stay with us, and then they'll already place their uh on online order, and that will be in a basket where the cashier will take it at that point, go through the purchase with them, process the purchase through a credit card, and then hand everything back out through the window with your ID and credit card and package. And then they'll be on their way, they'll leave, and they'll come right out and go back out.
