I don't know if that's for me to say as it's Wendell's company. There was a few things at play and unfortunately it wasn't by choice. There were lots of things I would have loved to address and improve upon but we weren't in a position to do it unfortunately

How much did location play re the store's problems? Seems to me that a store that is big in corals needs a good location, so customers can drop by frequently to see what is new.

I am in Langley, and boy, do we need a salt water store (a real one) badly. Used to visit Fishworld probably once a week when Nick was there. It was a tough retail location, too, but at least I didn't have to drive 45 minutes to a store.

And Paul's place in Aldergrove is out of the way, too. Doesn't help that almost every time I decide to take a drive out there, he is temporarily closed for some reason.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Thank you Jim for letting us know, you have always been a great help. Its a shame to see a great store close but sometimes it just happens. I know for a fact that you will be missed. If you like I can give out your cell number so everyone can call you direct..... jokes.

They are usually my last stop of fish store runs. Always a good conversation there and perfect way to wrap up the day.
