Thanks for sharing your story. i think the real life experiences are very rewarding and help move the research along. That being said was there anything else about the shop that might make you feel there is more there besides the swirl? the pedo swirl is usually blue and more squared.

There are actually many of these Grotto shops around the area, its like a network of them centered in Rehoboth DE.

The are also sort of known for hiring lots of Russians during the summer. Lots of seasonal towns have seasonal migrant workers, and there are actually agencies that specialize in bringing in people from eastern europe and russia during the summer, which sort of has a human trafficking vibe to it, but also is a pretty common practice as i understand.

Using the swirl as the logo and seeing it all over the shop struck me as a new thing though, I don't remember them using it a couple years ago, or maybe I just wouldn't have noticed.
