Default How do you rate your LFS

I shop out of the city because I would pay more.

I am also a bit crazy when it comes to LFS tourism When ever I go on a trip I always plan some side trips to the LFS

Cheers,

IME price overrides other considerations for most people.

I like to have decent prices and staff that actually keep the type of tanks they give advice on.

Price is paramount, but I'll trade price for great service and/or unique selection. Often enough though, the best service and selection is also where the best prices are... go figure!

Location is at the top of the list. I hate driving across town for supplies, I have started to order on line for dry goods.

Selection and qualiity of livestock are a close second though. I don't mind paying into the local economy for a good quality livestock.
