If it's in Medicine hat I'll work for fish on my days off (cheap labour) I work 8 on 6 off and always looking for something to do on my time off.

Kevin forget Lethbride/Med Hat Kalowna and all those other cities. RED DEER need's you and if I didn't have a company of my own to run I would jump in to run it. I have an empty 40 x 40 heated/power shop here at my acreage you could set up in. LOL.

I'll run the one in the South end of the City when I retire in a few years.

Red Coral in Lethbridge is a great idea. Our one store in Medicine Hat is hit and miss, more miss than anything. It is not a dedicated fish store and during the summer when pond season is in, the SW fish and corals go away to almost nothing. Even if there are fewer sales in the summer, the LFS still has to take care of thier customers of they may not be back. I've spent thousands at J&L over the last year and while I do love thier service, I would still like the option of being able to shop locally. Lethbridge is close enough that a person can go there without having to make a day trip out of it. With the new stores popping up in Lethbridge things are getting better but a Red Coral store would be the icing on the cake. I would personally prefer a new one in Medicine Hat but the interest hasn't grown to the point where it could support another store right now, Lethbridge is definitely the next best thing!

Yes thanks for the positive comment I am hoping to not only add to these two markets but create a level of service that would force all LFS's in these areas to provide a better atmosphere thus generating a stronger SW demand.

As I have said before I would love to come to Red Deer but have not come up with a strong management RD crew.

As I have said the franchise interest has been generated from Lethbridge. This does not mean the Lethbridge store cannot set up deliveries, swap meets, etc in Medicine Hat. I will work with them on that.

Keep working on the Red Deer idea. I'm sure someone reliable will step up and offer to run it for you.
