[thor32766]

First I would like to say I am not affiliated with this store. I am not invested in it nor do I work there. So now thats out of the way. I found it on the way to my softball game in Winter Springs.
1174 Tree Swallow Drive
Winter Springs Town Center, ( 434 and Tuscawilla) to the right of Publix and next to the UPS store.
Its says on the outside of the store it opens April 12th at 1030 am. The phone number on the door is 4073275566.
Looks like its really worth checking out!!!!

I wish them the best of luck. It's a pretty rough time to be opening a retail store, but I imagine if they do things right, they'll have no trouble!

Hey Don, I'm figuring on going over there Saturday....interested in getting together for a visit? It's just like 3 minutes from my house...

I might.....I see that they are club sponsors already.....that's a good sign! Although I don't think the club really has any kind of quality standards as far as sponsors go.....

 

[gwrench]

Of course the club has standards.......
just ask the board

 

[chrisstie]

The standards being do whatever it is stores to do become sponsors?

i dont think it's orca's job to set standard per say. the only thing that i see that orca wants from it's members is not to say bad things about the visit but rather take it up with the individual stores and one other thing is not to ask which store is better. thats why there is a list of stores that support orca. if you ask anyone member what there favorite store is the all will have some different opinions. all i can say is that i visit most of them which is at the least 45 mintues away because every stores has something to offer and when you need something in a pinch guess what there are there and waiting to give you what you need. if you go and ask a nascar driver why there have a sponser on there car that the person does not agree with is asking them how much money do they make from the sponser. visit the sponser and see for yourself if there are up to your standards and if not then talk to them and let them know and if they don't like what you have to say then don't go back. ocra won't force you. this post is in no way a reflection of the orca board or it's members it's just mine

Man the store hasn't even opened yet. So lets not talk about standards until you at least see it.

 

[JUICE!]

Just checked this store out and i hate to sound like a tape recorder but its true... nice store and the owners are super friendly!!!!! I have been to pretty much every store with in an hour or so's distance of my house here in orlando and my parents house in fort lauderdale and they have some fish i had never seen in other stores! They have some gorgeous Indian Blennies, and an pygmy angel hybrid seemed to be like 1/2 lemon peel 1/2 half black idk looks like this http://www.marinecenter.com/fish/angelfish/hybridpygmyangel/ The owner Dallas made all the tanks and stands himself, very knowledgeable, friendly and more importantly their prices were fair..... Definitely worth checking out!!!

went in to the store today, and they have real nice stuff! Just as everyone else said!!! I got one of those indian blennies, real cool, and a couple colonies of clove polyps. Great fish, great corals, great prices. They also had a tank full of approx 6 or so wrasses- scotts fairy, pink margian, all 5+" for real good prices. Worth checking out
