*****UPDATE JULY 2ND 2026*****
As of today we have been in contact with 4 out of the 6 individuals who were involved in this incident. We were able to speak in person with 3 today and they have apologized with the 4th also planning on coming in. It can be difficult to be a small business owner during these times when events like this happen, but we do believe in giving people grace when they own up to their mistakes. We're very grateful for the parents who have stepped up and were understanding and kept their kids accountable. It definitely can be difficult in this day and age to raise teenagers, and we want to give them a big thank you for being willing to work with us. Finally, we'd like to thank the community again for being supportive. Your support helps us to support local schools and other organizations that need help. We are truly so blessed by each and every customer, thank you for choosing to make memories and have fun here at Smart Cow!
***UPDATE JUNE 30TH 2026***
We've received the names of the individuals involved in the incident, which is all the information law enforcement needed to move forward legally. THANK YOU to our community for helping us with this and for caring about our store. Smart Cow is like our second home and owning it and being involved in the community is a huge honor for us.
Thank you again for your understanding, compassion, assistance and concern regarding this. We're so blessed to be part of a community that looks out for one another! We are happy to say we did get a call from one parent who wishes to bring their son in to apologize in person. We really respect that decision and are glad to see a parent taking appropriate action. Since we received the information needed, we have decided to remove the video and images. Thank you again for everything and hopefully we will see you at Smart Cow soon!
Original post-June 29th 2026: We would appreciate assistance in identifying the individuals shown below. They were involved in a vandalization incident at our store last night. Please send a private message with information.
Lately we've had multiple issues with people being disrespectful to our employees, stealing, causing scenes, littering, or damaging property. We've been in close contact with local law enforcement and will not hesitate to call them if further issues occur-not only with these specific individuals, but other customers who are disrespectful in our store.
We are a FAMILY FRIENDLY environment that wishes to create a safe and fun space for everyone in our community. We are also a family business trying our best to ensure the safety of both our employees and other customers. We are so genuinely grateful to serve this amazing community and we hope to continue to be here for years to come!
