Customer info and needs:
Volante Farms is a very well know farm, farm stand and deli. They have been in business for over a hundred years. They are a family owned business that takes pride in thier facility and product. They have an enormous following. The butiful enclosed building had been completely overhauled and expanded. It is an impressive facility. The general contractor had hired a local janitorial company to seal the decorative concrete floors. Unfortunately he used a product ment to be installed only outdoors. The product contaminated all of the foods in the building. The product also had a very bad smell that did not go away. The Volante decided to completely remove all the food from the building, even product that was nowhere mere the areas affected. Disposal of the product and choosing to close down was an enormous cost to the family. The Volante family cares deeply for its customers and wanted to insure that they would have a comfortable and safe shopping experience.
