I started going weekly when they opened their Allston store, which must have been 2002 or 2003. I saw the guy there often and thought he was the manager, but learned soon that he owned that one and the BackBay store. I started school at Tufts the same year he opened the Davis Square location. I began seeing him there and he said that he normally is at the Davis location on Thursdays. However, I haven't been there on a Thursday in over a year so I dunno if he still maintains that schedule.

I don't know if he owns the RI stores also. I got the impression it was just these stores, but I dont think I specifically asked.

Like I said, super nice dude. Always remembered my name and gave me his time to talk - and some tips for running a business. :)
