Another fun fact, they sell meat. Literally some of the best filets I have ever bought.


that reminded me of a funny story
when we first moved there we didnt know ANYBODY, so i asked someone about some good plsces to get a steak. he tells me "the best steak in town is at the crescent"

so my wife and i go there, looking to get the best steak in town, notice theres no tables or anything, and not really any indication of food service, but i see the steaks in the case. so i ask the bartender for some dinner menus...

hilarity (on his part) ensued

I've never bought a steak from them before, but it's obviously working for them.
I remember when they first started selling meat. I was thinking "WTF is this?" Meanwhile, Rickie and Dickie sold quality steaks and complementary bottles of wine (or vice versa) from their package liquor section. Many years later, they now have a reputation for quality steaks. I guess that just shows how much I don't know about running a business and adjusting to the market.
I didn't know about their catering/wedding reception policy, but it doesn't surprise me. Rickie is about the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. He supports everything in town. (Early prediction: He'll be buying lunch/dinner from his "competitor" next door.)
