I´like the store, nice and clean set-ups I was only once there and think they would get a lot of business from Marin Co customers
Very rough times for all of us in general
I was thinking of opening one but since then the economy has been little by little collapsing, low work, no job and now starting a new job after couple of months without income
I saw the ad for Brian´s too
Let´s hope for a better year, eight have been more than enough...

The unfortunate thing is that quality and service have taken a back seat to price. How is a store like Fish Fish and More Fish suppose to survive when there are web sites that sell the same merchandise for less or close to what FFAMF can get it wholesale? That doesn't pay the rent on Lombard. It's definitely a fish eat fish world.

Times are tough.
On a side note, did you see the Reef Nutrition Fridge at the Tampa Bay stores counter??

I did, but I knew we sold to them :lol:
Not only are times tough but the greater SF Bay area has the largest concentration of LFS's in the nation. We have far too many and alot of them sprouted up during the tech boom. Loosing the few we have is of no surprise to me given that, then add on the industry was down by 30%-40% this year. The trade will evolve and prices will surely go up (loss of economy of scale).
I'm not wishing anyone going out of business, that just sucks. I'm merely pointing out how many stores we have compared to elsewhere.
Gresham, do you see less, but larger stores elsewhere? I know we've discussed how far people are willing travel in other parts of the country. I'm wondering what scale stores are, I know sq. ft are expensive around these parts compared to other parts of the country, just curious.
