You like to go out, dance, have
a good time. Trouble is, you could
use a really different place to go.
Well, now you've got it. It's
Grogshop II. It's as sophisticated
and knowing as you are these
days. Thanks to a new look and
feel. Plus the sounds of Juliana's.
A completely unique new sound
system imported from Europe
to make music a lot more,
spectacular and danceable than
you've heard it before.
Try Grogshop II. You won't
ever need to go anywhere else.
