The business offers grocery shopping, restaurant delivery and other services.
Basic errands include pharmacy, post office and dry-cleaning pickup and drop-off; senior citizen services include safety check-ins, light house cleaning and lighting fixture maintenance; pet and home services range from pet sitting and walking to picking up mail; and real estate services include flier placement, key delivery and open-house preparations.
