Overall: 
New enough, long enough, no other eligibility issues. Article is well-written and neutral. I picked up one missing source which I have added in, otherwise sources all check out and look good. Earwig only picks up clearly-marked quotations. ALT1 is good and checks out (supported by source). ALT0 is the more interesting hook to my mind, but unfortunately I don't think it's quite accurate; the brick-and-mortar location won't open until later in 2022. I wondered about amending it to say it "will be" the only (etc) but then the hook seems speculative/less interesting. Ezlev, I wondered if you had any further thoughts about possible rewording of ALT0 or alternative hooks? If not, I'm happy to approve ALT1. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 07:55, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- I think you’re right, Chocmilk03. Thanks for catching that. Let’s just go with ALT1. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 15:30, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Great, duly approved!

Projected opening date
[edit]It looks like the more recent sources give a projected opening in summer or late summer, rather than Spring. That should be reconciled if possible, and if not, perhaps just state some time in 2022. Kablammo (talk) 15:16, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Done, Kablammo, thanks! ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 17:48, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
