Salt is considered a commodity, it is used to bring people in the door, like tanks. As we know of salt prices on boxing day by a certain retailer.

Not a large margin on them at all.

Around here you can't even get buckets of salt at the LFS. Only bags, for the same prices as buckets. Our Total Pet just opened recently and has no salt section yet, but from what I can tell so far, their prices here will be similar to Prince George's. Thankfully there's more than one LFS that will be offering salt supplies soon, so that should bring the prices down a bit. I still opt to buy online though, its just way cheeper.

Talk to Chris. He came from here to manage that store. He's not too bad to deal with. At times he has matched prices with J&L, but that is no longer happening. This is'nt about customer service just price gouging. Don't plan on them having any SW supplies. P.G. store only carries salt and very minimal supplies.

I've spoken to Chris a couple of times. At this moment they have the tanks for a salt set up in place but no livestock yet. I guess they intend to carry supplies but only have stuff for fresh water fish right now. Around here it seems to take LFS forever to do anything so I'm not holding my breath with this one either.
