They set up appointments and allowed people to sit in their car and they texted them when ready instead of them having to wait around.

When some businesses took a major hit, other business pivoted and flourished. Benito and Lori were grateful to gain new contracts, they relied on loyal clients who were willing to make appointments and they scheduled mobile events to stay afloat during that time.

They quickly realized they needed to change office locations and undergo construction to allow social distancing and created a secluded section for those being printed.

Through it all, Benito and Lori have always taken pride in all they have achieved in assisting their family and community.

From walking to class together every day as teenagers to driving to work every day together as business owners, their love for each other has been tested, grown and also flourished through it all.
