Actually there is someone working on that right now. The owner asked me not to say anything so at this time I can't say who, but there is an existing store that is planning to open up a south Calgary location in the near future.

There was movement afoot a couple months ago by another (ahem) anonymous group but it seems to have fizzled out unfortunately.

Oh well, whoever gets there first ought to have a nice market share. If I haven't quit the hobby altogether by that point I'll give them my business (at this point that is a big "if" though).

Afraid I can't muster up any sympothy for you. At least you have one of the best LFS in your city already!

Adding another store might spread the business too thin, and wouldn't you rather see the existing stores be able to keep their prices low and still do well?

But maybe there is room for another store with Big Al's closing, guess the market will decide soon enough.

I have two stores reasonably close by, but no time or money to go to either one (its motorcycle season, don't you know). Not sure if that's really any better than not having a store close to home.

I don't review vendors on here. I do like the glint that gold gives off though. And sometimes I like to get wayyyyy the hell out of dodge. lol.
