Thumbs down This Sucks!

I know many people have said it before, but man does it ever suck not having a SW fishstore in the South. I mean there is PetCetera, but...well you really don't have to say much about that. Are there any rumours about a new store for the south?

I agree, i cant remember the last time i was at a fish store. I used to go to Big Als to kill some time with the kids. To go up north i would kill all my time just driving!

I know exactly how you feel! I go up North all the time to work, but I usually start work at 3:30 - 4:00 and by the time I'm done all the stores have been shut down for hours. I went into the Pet Land on Macleod just past Ranchman's and I got a little sad because I really wanted to go and look at some SW fish after seeing all the FW one's.

Eventhough I can't feel your pain I totally understand it. I am fortunate enough to work only a block away from one of the best saltwater places in town and I end up going there at least once a day just to get my fix until I get home. I know it sounds sick but I can't help it. I hope you guys get a store soon.

I agree. as great as Golds is, they need a South location

I would LOVE to open a store myself.

Perhaps one day!

I couldn't agree more with you guys. I'm in the deep south too, and man do I miss the Big Al's. They weren't a perfect LFS (no LFS is though) but at least I could get there from time to time.

LFS people: Come on!! There's a captive market waiting to be tapped down here. Somebody get on it!!

I think i got about $26.50 in my pocket and a bunch of stuff i could pawn off in the garage. That should at least get us a door knob.....or 2.

If someone could come around with a serious business proposal i know someone who might be willing to finance it.
