Everyone welcome our New Sponsor!

[bshumake]

Since there is still a certin amount of "build time" left before the doors officially open we'll have to wait to go shopping. But since I was too busy fragging and lecturing I completely forgot to announce the new sponsor. Richard is taking the plunge (yet again) into the world of fish store proprietary. He will announce an official opening date and name soon. Lets all wish Richard success in this effort and pay his new store a visit once its open for business.
Congradulations Richard!

Way to go Richard!!! I'd love to see another LFS in town because Something Fishy burned me ages ago and I don't shop there .... If you need to do any woodwork/cabinetry I'd be happy to volunteer on the Weekends to help you get set-up

[Reefdiver77]

Congrats Richard!! And I hear it is less than a block from my sister's house. I will have to walk the twins over to look at your "Nemos".

 

[milkshake]

Oh man, that's all we need is a "misfit" running a LFS.

arrrghhh!!! i've been bugging dave on and off for a year to get me one. sheesh.

Best of luck with your new endeavor Richard! Where and when???

And if you (or anyone else!) need a supplier of very cheap kenya tree coral, I'm your man!!!

Thanks everyone!
It is definitely an adventure.
It is a path that I have walked before, but I hope that I understand the hobby and the industry and customers more now than I did at my previous store in Jackson. I have always enjoyed the challenge, and I hope I can offer my experience to others so they don't make the same mistakes I made in the past.
I will let everyone know when we are opening when it comes closer to that time. I will say that we will be at the corner of Quince and Yorkshire. I hope it doesn't disappoint any of you reef-heads that we will be carrying salt and fresh water. We will also have a web presence down the road.

Name of the store???

I have narrowed it down to the following:

Mem-fish.

It must be with telepathy, you hardly say two words to me when I see you ( I'm not complaining, mind you.)

 

[joeycadre]

well i bugged you for a couple of visits last year. but then i gave up. i would tell richard to tell you to order me one quite often though.

 

[fifamickey]

Mem-fish, that is a catchy name. Best of luck to you in your new endeavore.

 

[crpeck]

Wow! This is big news, Richard.

You will be really close to me.

Well since you didn't learn your lesson about business ownership the first time, I enthusiastically wish you the very best this round.

 

[gflat65]

Best wishes, Richard. One more place to spend money when I visit family...
