I voted yes to Sunday. The store is clearly a REGIONAL attraction. It takes an hour each way for me to travel from Forest. I have made the trip a number of times since the move and Chris has relieved me of a large chunk of cash on more than one occassion.
Sunday is clearly the best day for ME. If the store never opens on Sunday, I'll still find a way to get by but I'd prolly drop a few dollars more if the hours were more convenient for ME.
Having said this, I'll never have any hard feelings for any store owner that decides not to open on Sunday or whenever they decide.

Sam, John:
If so, congrats.
Sam, is this why Chris hasn't called me back? Look forward to continuing patronage. Be sure to post any changes in operations...hours, days, etc.

Folks..
I can confirm what Chad Says. Sam and I are very excited and interested in serving the region to the best of our ability! I don't want to use the forum for commercial purposes, so I'll keep this brief... We intend to grow the business with the same momentum Chris created and with the same spirit. We will be open Sundays, beginning this Sunday from 1-5 in the afternoon, and with a new fish/coral order. (provided it comes in) My son, Ben and I will be working. He has 2+ years in SW retail -- and as you know I'm a new but passionate hobbiest. We look forward to seeing all of you and serving the valley(s) for years to come.

My wife is gonna hit me BUT...............I'll be there on Sun, I know you really cant use reef central to advertise but you can use it as Information, As for me and i'm sure everyone else we all have a little info in everyone of us to help you keep it going, I'm gonna look at it like this- Its my store along with everyone else cause if "WE" Support it we will have it for Years to come- So as far as im concered If you don't support it, You cant make money and although im sure you are passionate you cant run a store without funds so anything I can do, Im a PM away or Phone call . Also the club has in the passed asked for "Special Orders from ORA" for a club meet, Maybe we can do that in the future.

The only problem that you are going to have is contacts, Chris had some great contacts for high end corals, please don't take this the wrong way but you and Sam are, in salt water trade newbees when it comes to buying and careing for corals and fish. It is going to take you all a great deal of time and cash before you get what you want.
For the little time that you have in the hobby I think it is very brave of you both to make this step.
Aside from that I wish you all the best.

Thanks ADE. No doubt about it... Chris had contacts and knowledge that Sam and I don't. He is sharing a lot of information with us, regarding the contacts... and as for the knowledge... there's nothing like a new investment for motivation!
We may be asking some of the more experienced folks in the club for advice from time to time.

Yeah I'm with you Ade.......sometimes you can't buy experience either. And unless this whole board will grow and profit from the store. The amount of dollar worthy advise of how to run a fish store my be hard to come by on an internet forum.
I know Chris had been in this hobby for a long time and you could tell by his set up and his overall wealth of knowlage. That is pretty much the key ingredient to a LFS. Anyone can order anything off the internet no matter what your fancy. But keeping it and conveying the how too's to your customers that are there in person is a critical part of this hobby. I wish you all luck
