Is there a market for a marine only LFS around Parksville?

Either that, or a few very keen customers! Deep pockets would also be nice.

I have oil money burning a hole in my pocket

So you would be your own best customer? Hmmm, kind of like an alcoholic owning a pub!

hi , i use to live in parksville, now nanaimo, i would love to have a store in parksville, to be honest i dont think it would work. its to much of a small population to hit, of which the population is penny pinching seniors. And let's face it, sw tanks aint cheap. Sure you could open one but could u compete with victoria prices let alone j and l in vancouver. I was recently introduced to age of aquariums in nanaimo, and its my new favorite store, great selection, and i was further told that they were going to compete with j and l aquatics prices. Of which i witnessed. So good luck if u decide to go for it, it would always be nice to have another store to check out.

Oh another thing to, Best Friends Pets in parksville has a small selection of marine livestock and hardware, plus they have some die hard customers that shop there constanly, Maybe you could talk to them about selling, i know they are an older couple that doesnt look like they are enjoying themselves as much as they did. Just a thought

If you could supply free transportation to and from the ferry I'd be your best customer

.

Well I'd visit often anyway, you probably wouldn't get rich off me

How about half the way, say maybe Penticton and I could be your first employee/
customer and I'd accept shares in the company. Sounds wonderful ta' me. lol
I am actually thinking I should do something all joking aside. Guess I had better get
a real job and hope the economy picks up. Well what's more important fish or food
for the family. I will get back to you on that.
