house parties exactly what they’ve been missing,<br />

pizza to ping pong balls.<br />
When owner John Lamplugh, first had his vision<br />
it was originally meant to be a quick stop shop<br />
that <strong>of</strong>fered everything for pre-gaming; mixers,<br />
sodas, even Dixie cups <strong>and</strong> beer pong accessories.<br />
Instead <strong>of</strong> the store, they decided to deliver <strong>and</strong> they’ve<br />
been doing so ever since.<br />

that allows them to deliver pizza on late nights;<br />
however, upcoming news for Chasers Now is that<br />
they’ll be delivering all foods for Subs & Suds. Also on<br />
the horizon, they plan to exp<strong>and</strong> their business to a convenience<br />
store where they will continue to do deliveries<br />
while allowing students to purchase products <strong>of</strong> their<br />
own accord.<br />
