That's right, starting this Monday, August 18 we will now be open on Mondays! Stop in and see us any day of the week during the following hours:

Sun/Mon: 11am - 4pm
Tues/Wed/Thurs: 10am - 5pm
Sat/Sun: 10am - 7pm

Konner, dressed in orange with Garfield ears stands in front of what looks like a comic strip panel, and is thinking, “I HATE MONDAYS.”

Josh, with poorly photoshopped hair to look like John from the Garfield comics, stands in front of the same backdrop as Konner and says, “Print is open on Mondays now.”

Konner, in the same position as the first panel but now wearing a PRINT branded hat, thinks, “I hate Mondays a little less now.”
