new store

[pdwife]

My husband is a truck driver and he said he passed what appeared to be a new store between Carbondale and Marion. Has anybody heard of this new store. Or was he just seeing things? I have not heard of one down that way. Thanks

yes I seen it. the secret reef. opened on monday of this week. highway 148 just south of herrin

 

[HUFF_32]

yes I live in Herrin he is just getting started and is open from 11 to 7 every day I think has a few fish and a few corals

 

[nagual21]

I checked it out not a whole lot of things yet but the stuff is like half the price of everyone else in this area

Has anyone visted the store again? I would like to take the short trip over, but would rather save the gas money until they have all their stock up and going.

 

[nagual21]

Yes, I was there today and he got some more fish and coral in. There were some nice acros and the live rock looked really good. Dry goods wise though still a little sparse. Worth the gas to look at some of the coral or if you need salt, its way cheaper there than anywhere I have seen!

many people in this group...

actually, i think it's just one person.

the rest of us just try to warn people about that one person's position prior to them getting the axe.

It's part of the TOS of RC plain and simple, this is not grounds to rip on this one person about this.

Saying they have a new shipment in is advertising.

i think you highlighted the wrong sentence. you should have highlighted the sentence after that one. ...meaning that yes, it is up to one person here, as it is completely subjective.

nobody here is economically gaining anything...

I disagree. Getting people to come to your location is the single most difficult part of running a bussiness. It is the number one reason to advertise. By stating that this place of business has replinished there stock on a public forum is the same as if this place would place an advertisement on TV stating the same thing.

I think the original question was answered and there probably is no point in continueing this thread.
