Help: Setting Up New Store

[FreeDiveDave]

I'll be in the Orlando area on business during the first week of November. I am in the designing stage of setting up a new store in S. TX and wanted to visit a few stores in Orlando to get some ideas. Any suggestions. No million dollar stores please. I am setting up a salt water only store, and happened to come by a store for sale in Melbourne that is selling all of their equipment. It doesn't look like its to far from where I'm staying. Can anyone tell me about Reef Rascals?

And I heard the weather just got cold there. Just my luck.

ocean blue is pretty nice, sells a mostly saltwater fish, corals and high end equipmentk, not sure if their 2nd store is open yet or not. . Sea in the city is also a nice store for very nice corals etc.

Fishy business sells mostly fish.

Brand new store just opened up in metrowest. Aquarium fanatics. I saw the place under construction. I haven't been in since opening but they seem to have a nice layout when I was there. Its on Kirkman and Robert Trent Jones. Where at in S TX? I grew up in Waco. Good Luck!

Where is Metrowest in relation to Orlando. It doesn't come up on mapquest. I'm from just outside of Corpus.

It's an area of west Orlando, Check Kirkman Road. There is also a list of sponsors of the local reef club, with the addresses.

When you get set up let me know so I can send you a list of live stock I carry and the other wholesalers in the area.

If you're in the Orlando area, stop by. We are in the process of setting up a new store while still operating out of the old one. It should be done in a few weeks but I've had some of the best in the industry help me out with the setup and design. PM me if you'll be in the area. Have a safe trip. Marcye

They always have a great selection of fish and i mean always a great selection of fish. By far the best for fish selection in and or around orlando. Corals ok but i dont really check out corals when i go there, SITC is a great place for corals and so is the fish bowl.
