A friend of Colin's bought the old Aquafanatics from what I heard. Haven't been there but if the owner is actually in-store, that'll be a huge improvement over the old place. Went by the old AF maybe a dozen times & only got inside twice because nobody was ever around & the shop was always closed. Hard to stay in biz that way.

Then it opened again and had another fire 2 months ago or so. Is it open once again?

From what I could tell, it looked like it was mostly smoke damage .It's pretty hard to get rid of that smell.
