OK, thanks Christy. Strange that a city the size of Nanaimo has no SW.

Yeah Nanaimo had a couple SW stores a number of years ago. Olivers decided it was too much work and the couple made it a drygoods only store. The other store was pretty much driven into the ground by bad business practices. Sad really. I've been driving down to Duncan for all my SW stuff if I'm not over in Vancouver to stock up. I'm really looking forward to this new store opening, hopefully it will do well

I remember a store in the area of the tally-ho & arena, that had limited salt water stuff. (but that was a while back)

Yeah that was My Fish Tank. He had SW stuff for awhile but I think eventually got out of it. The store has a new owner now but I'm not sure if they're going to get into SW at all.
