Indeed, "AMEN." Couldn't agree more with Greg and Drew. Big Al's strength were the people that worked there. I was able to visit the store at least once a week and chat it up with the guys (and gals).

But yeah ... I couldn't be more disappointed with the choice of location. Being on the extreme south end of the city, I'm afraid I won't be able to visit there except on extremely rare occasions. They really should have returned to the south. Being where I am, I do notice the northern-ness of all the LFS's (except for Elite, thank you THANK you Colby, for opening a store in the south!!!)

Yay to Big Al's return, a big BOO to their choice of location!

More north stores?! Boo!

I was there this past weekend, and I can't say I enjoyed the trips up north. I would have to say I would enjoy a few more south stores. Still though, one more store never hurt compitition!

Nate, you think any of the old staff might end up at the new store, do you keep in touch with any of them?

According to http://www.bigalscanada.com/

Bay G, 2020 - 32nd Av N.E.

Sounds like its near .. um .. what is the place called.. "Audio Concepts Mobile". Not too far from Princess Auto's old location.

It would be the first bank of bays after the golf course on the left when heading east up 32nd. (coming from Deerfoot south of course )

I am curious what it will look like, are they going to put in a monster shark tank again?

I'm sure anything will be cleaner and newer than the old location
