3. History of
LocalBanya.com
Personal experience with not
having enough time to go
out and do grocery shopping
after a long day of work.
Too tired to deal with going
to the store to pick up
groceries, waiting in long
lines and dealing with the
journey involved.
The traditional Banya would
most likely be shut or be out
of stock of what we needed.
