Operation Buckeye

05/13/2019

Jim Caronis, founder and president, has elected to retire and move closer to family. He has supported our troops tirelessly supplying a steady stream of care packages to tens of thousands of military men and women. His vision and drive made our brand into a Columbus institution. We do not currently have a successor. It is with heavy hearts that we will be closing OB with the last packs being held on Saturday, May 11 & 18 from 1-3 pm.
