“It’s been crazy, to be honest. It’s been non-stop since we opened, which is very exciting,” said Abayomi Nelson, general manager of The Landing.

A company official told WLWT’s Todd Dykes that he expected to see 1,000 customers by the end of business Tuesday, a number comparable to the company’s Chicago facilities.
