Sorry to hear of your troubles. I have to agree with most of the comments on this thread so far. Many times the same idea has crossed my mind as I am a stay at home mom that has had it with household duties, and looking to get out of my rut so to speak. Anyways, I just haven't personally seen enough potential in the area without doing it all the way either (storefront and large array of product). With such a small group of reefers, and many of us probably use different product, you can't carry enough to please everyone and get them in your door to shop. I'm very much an impulse buyer, I always go to calgary for my salt, with the intention that this time I'm only getting salt, but always come away with quite a few other items that were not on my list. That's how the store's all make their money. I am probably the only one in the area that uses my brand of salt, unfortunately, so I will always have the need to go to the city meaning they will get the most of my reefing dollars. Not that I wouldn't support a local business, I would try when I could. Good luck and I hope things turnaround for you soon. It would be so nice if one of us could actually get a real storefront up and operating sometime in the near future.
