New Store Possibility

[leezard]

First of all, what's JL? Is this a place I should be looking at?

I live in Wetaskiwin and go out of my way to visit AI on a nearly weekly basis at this point -- it's the only thing that brings me to the west end. My husband and I work for the same company -- he's at the shop on the east end of Edmonton and I am in Sherwood Park. While that area would definitely be a world of awesome for convenience, we'd travel the extra bit to get to SGrove if it were worth it....

AI is starting to get frustrating, however, since every time I go for a fish I want, it is not in stock. The only time I lucked out was when a shipment of percs came in, so I bought a pair straight from the box, as they do not go through a quarantine period anyways.

If something weren't in stock, I'd be willing to wait a few days to get it. Not like we have the convenience of popping in as soon as we could anyways. Unless, of course, it were something we needed right away.

If online purchasing were available, I may look at that for hardware.... I'd pick up any livestock, though.

I would most definatly take a drive to Sprucw Grove for a quality Saltwater Aquarium shop. We need more Saltwater shops in the area.

I would definitely buy local if I could. Not worried about things not in stock - as long as the price is very close I would for sure. And I even live in Sherwood Park. If you carried live goods at close to JL prices I'd for sure drive out.

wow cool ideal. just wondering can you keep up to jLs pricing.shipping costs is the 1 reason sw stores are expensive to set up.population density should be the biggest issue for you do you have enough sw fish people in your area to keep you going.to cover store costs,before your store is known to everyone.

Pretty sure they're not.

So I've been looking at lease rates in Spruce Grove and they are REALLY high for a small town. I'll be looking around West Edmonton unless I can find someplace at a reasonable rate in SG.

Even West Edmonton would be a great location. I'm so tired of going to the south side to see what treasures I can find.
