  I have to say that working under the richards family was the best experience I had ever had under any employer . I had worked at P.C. Richards for almost 2 years and made me who I am today . The honesty they instill in there family and I say family in terms of employees of each and every store was priceless. One of the greatest men in all times A.J. was. he will be remembered by those who have never even met him But felt his strength in words and work ethic. Till this day I am greatfull he pioneered such an amazing place of work. god bless him and his family . May his strength show with every person who is blessed with the chance to work under them
