Default Big Als is back

Im sure this isnt news to most of you, but Big Als is coming back to calgary.

Out front of PM hobbycraft on 32nd ave NE is a big sign for Big Als, now hiring.
I believe Big Als will be located in the store which used to be a golf store that had the roof collapse during the big rain storm, right next to PM Hobby.

This will be awesome, because I work part time in PM so break time means reef time.

Just letting the world know.

I'll believe it is open when I walk in the front doors I've been waiting since January for this joint to open.

I always liked Big Al's, but then again I liked it mainly becuase it was in the South.. this new location sucks for me.

Yeah, I was hoping you were gonna say they've finally opened their doors. Been hearing about the new location for close to a year now I think! Oh well, it will come when it comes, we'll just have to wait .. patiently or impatiently

One stop shopping! All that's missing is a Rona.

Ive heard that memory express is moving out some time soon.

As for Big Als, I think they are getting close to being ready because PM has smelled like epoxy paint for well over a week now. My guess is this was for the tank area.

Great, another fish store in the north. Well so much for breaking the monopoly that Elite has down here.
