*note about address*
The Address is 2736 NC Highway 210,
Smithfield, NC 27577* Note from Amie. The map that is used by Google
does not have our office listed in the right location. If you use
Mapquest or a GPS then they will take you to our office if you put in
2736 NC Highway 210, Smithfield, NC 27577.
If however you use Google
maps or a GPS which runs off their system then you have to put in the
address for 2640 NC Highway 210, Smithfield, NC 27577. They don’t know
why this happens and they’ve tried to fix it, but that should take you
tot he right spot if your GPS uses google maps.
