I must say, very nice looking store. Stores in Calgary should take note.

Why? The stores I shop keep their tanks clean and care about their livestock. Good enough for me although once again...beauty of a store =)

Not meaning anything bad here... I find colors and the layout quite appealling and relaxing. Kinda like a boutique atmosphere. Very nice!!! Nothing was being referrence to calgary stores in a bad way for how they run... All stores here are quite clean, but I find all of them quite cramped and crowded, and somewhat unorganized. I hope this explains things. I just think a nice store can make a shopper feel good and therefore maybe spend more (Just speaking from past experience).

good work on the nice look! good use of color and space.

Default Many many thanks

WOW thanks all for your very kind words, we are very proud of our new store and all the hard work and long hours. The plumbing job alone was quite a feat! Not to mention the oodles of feet of wiring. I hope all of you can make it into the new store, as far as the clean livstock tanks...i will espesially say thanks for that i work pretty hard and dilegently on it. When you all get a chance to come in for a looksie, please don't forget to introduce yourselves, its always nice to meet the canrreef reefer/FOWLER members and visitors. Cheers Ronnie.
