Hurrah!

 We've finally decided to hop on the blogging bandwagon to make up for our lack of a website. We are really excited to get this going by providing lots of colorful and descriptive posts/pictures of the latest and greatest at the store! This way you can stay updated on new stock and current sales/discounts from your own home computer. 

Also, if you aren't already signed up to receive our monthly newsletters or if you aren't following us on Facebook make sure to do so in order to keep up with everything that's happening at IBF. Thanks for all your support and business. We couldn't be who we are with out any of you.
