(2) A second campus stop will be added. Besides the current stop at the main administration building on the east side of the Optieris campus, there will be a second stop to better accommodate all our staff.
(3) A Service will be added in the evening. It will depart the Optieris campus 30 minutes later than the current last Service of the day.

I used Bright Now Home’s new in-store customer pickup for the first time this week. The Service was a big time-saver because my order was ready for me when I got to the store. Since I had already paid Online, I didn’t have to wait in the regular line in the store.
Unfortunately, I didn’t double-check my order before I left the store. When I arrived at the house I was working on, I realized I had received only one of the two gallons of BN-101 paint ĩ had ordered. I called the store immediately, and the manager arranged for me to pick up the missing gallon of paint at the location closest to where I was working. Also, he gave me my money back for both gallons. I will definitely use this Service again!
