Rent, insurance, fixtures, payroll, inventory, etc. this all costs and if there aren't enough people buying....
Not to mention the frequent commutes to Edmonton or Calgary airports for livestock and the headaches that will surely bring.

I am in Calgary or Edmonton several times a month. Edmonton Airport is only 45 min from my door. Plus if it was to be in the Red Coral franchise Kevin has shipments going to Edmonton on a regular basis already.

I am sure Greg has been waiting for my reply lol. We do have a store but the guy who owns it is way over priced and won't even price his stock.
If you ask him a price he says well it depends on if I like you or not. He smokes dope in his shop as well as cigarettes and drinks more beer then anyone I know.
He has recently banned me from his store as well as Josh (bauder1987) because he thinks we have a plan on tryingto sabotage his store.
There are lots of saltwater enthusiasts in red deer and area and I believe we deserve a store that is worth while.
Just my 2 cents

Well it's about time

My idea was to start something small here in my office, decent selection of corals & fish to a minimum, ability to get certain equipment / salt / additive items for a reasonable price, ability to order in requested livestock and custom build's and see how it goes before jumping into something big.
