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

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.

As Joe said, I think you'd be throwing away money. Much of the population there are retirees, and they typically don't spend a whole lot on this type of thing. And even if you have a half a dozen best customers from the board, they aren't going to buy enough to pay your rent each month. I've seen several shops open and close over the years in Nanaimo, and a friend of mine had a FW store in Parksville years ago, he didn't last a year.
