Quick Update on what's moving in thw store!

05/14/2026

Hey Kalkaska! 👋
I want to give a big shoutout to one of my favorite local spots — Sweet Shannon’s BBQ! My kids and I love going there, and the food is always amazing.
Here’s the deal:
Bring me a receipt from Sweet Shannon’s and I’ll cover your snack for free (up to $10) when you get any service from me.
So here’s how it works:
Stop by Sweet Shannon’s first and grab something delicious, then come see me for repairs, screen protectors, cords, or tech support. You’ll support two small local businesses and basically get your snack for free!
Let’s keep supporting each other right here in Kalkaska. ❤️
See you soon!

Last week I had the joy of surprising a dear friend at the assisted living with a paid tech visit — thanks to your donations and my matched time.
I’m happy to say we’re doing it again this week! On Monday I have another appointment lined up with a resident who doesn’t even know it’s coming yet. The first hour is completely covered by donations + my matched time, and I can’t wait to see the look on her face.
This is exactly the kind of difference we can make together. Small moments of connection and help that truly matter.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the Elder Tech Fund so far. Your generosity is making a real impact. ❤️

To my ATT people. Im going to start moving on upgrades for you here in the store. I got final approval so reach out if interested. First few people that go thru me with ATT as I get use to their system will get a free screen protector or the infamous charging block.

Bills To High? I Agree!

Today a customer walked in. Excited, but a little nervous about how the audit actually works.

First, we sat down and talked while pulling up their carrier app together. (I’m happy to walk you through it if you’re not sure how.)
Then we just chatted about life — the hard times and the good.

While we talked, I pulled up their detailed bill (you can even sit right next to me and watch the whole time). I took notes, wrote down exactly what they wanted versus what they were actually paying for, and showed them my suggestions right there in the app.

At that point they had paid zero dollars. They could have walked out the door with everything I told them and gone straight to the carrier themselves — and I would’ve been proud of them.

If they want me to make the changes, I show them exactly what their next bill should look like and what to expect going forward. My fee is simply one month of the estimated savings.

Just yesterday we helped one locally owned business save $365 a month between internet and telecom.

Today we helped one regular customer save $136 a month on their telecom bill.

Last month alone (while we were closed), the community saved $882.

My ultimate goal is to simply save this community as much as possible.

If your bill has you stressed out, come see me. No pressure. No upfront cost. We’ll look at it together and you decide what happens next.
