Nice just one more place to stop on Toronto trips :)

What is the advantage? You can ship corals overnight through out Canada using a courier like Fed Ex or UPS? Or is the more more to be close to the airport for importing coral?

The main reason for the move was to be close to our suppliers. That way we can replenish our inventory quick and have many more corals/fish online to offer.

We want to start shipping via WestJet whenever possible so being close to the airport is a priority.

RW is currently our main supplier for livestock. We have other suppliers for drygoods.

A word to the wise...there are a number of fraggers (small and large) in that area...if you plan on jumping on shipments from LFS like RR, NAFB, SUM etc. your in for some serious competition. (but I am sure you know this)

The market is so saturated in the GTA right now, the supply out weighs the demand. I know you are a Canada wide company, but trying to lock in suppliers from the GTA is not going to be cheap or easy ...

Being at the London Frags swap will be a great start for you guys...you will hopefully get an idea of what I am talking about

Yep. We are well aware of the heavy competition in the area.

Again, it makes no difference to us. If we don't sell to anyone local, that's fine... our main concern is the Canadian market.

We officially moved on Thursday so its a done deal.

We are building new systems from scratch. Still haven't nailed down a glass company yet.

It's going to take a few months before everything is complete. This will be a pretty large build.

Congrats on the move!

Will you guys be too busy, or are there any new shipments to be expected?... :razz:
