Aquarium Adventure in Cincy-Pics

[Arsenal11]

Wow this place was nice & even let me take some pics, have a 700gal glass tank for display, said they brought in in with a forklift 12' long, if anyone ever gets close to there worth the stop, Prices were a tad on the high side.

Pretty cool looking, but it seems very corperate. Did they even have decent live stock, or was it all show ?

 

[Arsenal11]

Had fairly decent livestock, had prob. 60 or so salt tanks, but lets just say that if they were in st.louis, CPE would be Walmart & they would be Sax 5th Ave.I think its Locally owned, not chain store.

I guess We'd be the Pevely Fleamarket huh ?

I may be wrong, but I thought it was a Petland spin-off franchise.

That place looks crazy ! Looks like some lottery winner opened a fish store/public aquarium ! Definately would like to see in person .

Reefer-If it;s a franchise, they have a good owner there, the store was very well-kept, unlike most franchise stores, employees were all 30-40ish, no weekend warrior workers, im sure the majority of there $$$ comes from freshwater & pond stuff. They were also in the high-rent district of town.

Yep, it's a franchise. I thought this looked familiar when you posted. I had read about it a couple months ago.

Weird. It is set up EXACTLY like the one in columbus. Same koi pond in the same spot, same other tank, ours has a shark in it.

Well, My two cents is... Not everything is what it seems. It might look great, but I have not such nice things to say

 

[Arsenal11]

Well come on then, surely some one here has $500k to get a franchise going.:thumbsup:

I'm workin' on it. Just give me another 35 years...
