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)
