Quad trucks amuk

The Tampa quad trucks were scheduled for delivery on Monday, May 11, 2009 but they have been postponed until further notice due to regretful circumstances. The driver mistakenly delivered the inventory to the Tampa Pottery Barn, also opening May 21, and the disgruntled employees initiated a parking lot bonfire with the Crate inventory. Please stay tuned for more information.
