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.

You would probably get some business from Grande Prairie too, since I have to go to Edmonton to find a store anyway. You would be the last stop before the drive home. Buying livestock is the last thing I do before I leave the city, so yeah... I could shave a half hour off the time the corals/fish are in the car. And I'd probably pick up whatever dry goods I needed at the same time too, since I'm already there. It would also save me from dragging my wife around to 3 or 4 different shops around Edmonton trying to find what I'm looking for.

That being said, we're probably moving back to BC in a year or so.
