“Small businesses have played an integral part in our success, and will hopefully continue to do so in the future.” said John Mullen, general manager. “The quality brands and additional benefits we offer at Every Day Low Cost, helps to ensure that small businesses in Willow Grove continue to thrive for years to come.”
