Tense moment

Just like spelling, tenses are important in written communication. Sometimes, a simple "ed" can change the way a line is understood.

Just like this:


Since their business is just about to open, the line should be in present tense. Now, if they were actually closed already, then this statement would be correct. 

Then again, they're not closed. They're just about to open. Unless they're manifesting wanting to be closed sooner than later.

Proofreader, please.
