November 8, 2016, will probably be one of the tensest, most anxiety-inducing days of this year – and possibly one of the worst election days we’ve had yet.

“We believe that it’s safe to say it’s a relief that this long election process is finally over,” Andrea Carella, Brand Manager of Bananas Smoothies & Frozen Yogurt and Villa Restaurant Group, said in a press release.
