On November 23rd, we became aware that we were the victim of a cyber incident. We immediately took our systems offline as a precaution, engaged external cybersecurity experts, launched an investigation into this matter and took steps to remediate and secure our systems.

At this time, there is no evidence that any customer data has been accessed or misused. Our website is separate from our internal systems, and so data from online transactions appears to be unaffected. Also, the data gathered through our point-of-sale systems at our retail locations appears to be unaffected.

Out of an abundance of caution we had to temporarily disable a few of our systems and this has caused delays in fulfilling our online orders. This also means that the My Account portion of the website was not visible to customers.

We are doing everything we can to process orders and our team of experts is working around the clock to bring systems back online, as quickly and securely as possible.

We will continue to share further updates as soon as they become available, including on restoration of the affected systems, data, and processes. Thank you for your support and patience while the investigation and recovery activities proceed. We know you have questions. Please see below for an FAQ about this incident and its impact.
