Sadly, this isn't a dream that can come true anytime soon. I'm still in school with no $ lol

The one east of the post office on Grand, between Larrys home oxygen and sun loan. You cant miss it. It has Lori's on the window. It has 2600 Sq Ft upstairs and 3200 Sq Ft down stairs.

I currently lease it. But after tax season I might be moving my office.

It is right next door to where the original pet store used to be, back in the day.

So downtown by Pastimes and all?

Just for an idea sometime way in the future, how much do you lease it for? And sell it for? You can PM me if you want.

 

[OUBrook]

Thanks, Lori! That's helpful!!

I think bigB is from Norman. If he is who I am thinking of....

There will be more reefers joining the "Enid" crew soon!!! I am working on a "contract", if you will, for a big company here who wants me to build them a tank!.... but its just in the talking process right now!

[OUBrook]

Awesome! What company?

 

[reefgardener]

A good fish store in Enid would be nice. If someone were to clean things up a bit & get rid of some of the other things (rats, mice, snakes, iguanas, birds, puppies, kittens, hampsters, gerbils, crickets, etc) Pet-A-Rama could be an awesome fish store. They have quite a few salt water tanks, along with lots of fresh water. I'm not sure how they have stayed in business this long.

 

[Dtking]

Cant tell you what company.... yet, but as soon as things go well.... I will tell! ...

Gardener, yes it would be nice to have a good one here... I think you need to talk to your Daughters!!!! I am not to pleased with the "quality" of the ones I have been to here in the area.... Dont mean to be blunt about it, but if you look at the aquarium places here and look closely, notice everything in their tanks, and you will see alot of faults.... SW here is just not the big thing...YET!!!!

Someone get me all the details for Pet-O-Rama and I'll get it added to the "Oklahoma Outlying" section of our LFS page on our website. By that I mean:

Address
Phone (etc)
Open & Close Times (all week long)
What Year they Opened
Email Address
Website
etc, etc, etc

Thanks!

 

[Dtking]

dont forget there is also "The Groom Closet" they have a "fish room" toward the back of their store!!!

 

[captbunzo]

Heck, bring em on! I'd love our LFS pages to have every saltwater fish store in the state, and even places nearby like the Wichita section and maybe even a KC section.

Actually, really I'd love to create an independent site called lfsmap.net or something and get the whole country up. Of course, for that I'd have to require much more on community submission and maintenance of hours, etc. But that's another story.

Ignore that last paragraph, just late night pipe dreams.

 

[Dtking]

I will try to round up some address for you on Thursday! PM me to remind me!!!

Dustin,

I'm sure Brook would be in "fish heaven" if she could operate a fish store, unfortunately she still is working on her degree in Norman. Pet-A-Rama could be a super store if someone knew how to handle it. Its location in the mall is great, especially since it is right next door to Dillards. Maybe someone will buy it and do some "magic".

[Dtking]

So is it really up for sale???? the people that own it live a few blocks from me!

 

[captbunzo]

Thank you for the store data - I'll probably wait until I get the updates in a day or so, and then add it to the map page. Thanks!!!

 

[reefgardener]

Paul,
Here are the updates for the Enid stores. I also got the scoop on Pet-A-Rama.

The Groom Closet:
Open Mon - Fri / 9:00 am - 6:00 pm.
Open Sat / 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
In business since 1977 (saltwater since 1982)
Specialiaze in salt water ponds
e-mail: ehrman55@netscape.com

Pet-A-Rama
The store is for sale. The owners died & the store has to be sold in order to settle the estate. The price is $50,000 which includes all inventory. The store-owner's daughter is Debbie Clark (580-237-4545). She would be able to answer any questions a person might have. One would need to contact the mall for lease rental amount (580-237-9177 and ask for Brad or Betsy).

This could be a really cool store if someone had the capital, business knowledge & the passion for it.

Later,
DeLynn
