Gang,
We are trying to put together some information for a future venture.
I thought it would be nice to ask you guys since you are the target audience:
What would you want in an LFS?
There are things that we have decided on already so I will state those:
1...No reptiles or other animals
2...We will specialize in livestock and a small assortment of necessary dry goods and plumbing parts
3...It will be clean and organized and there will NOT be constant projects going on.
4...All aquariums for sale will not be in view they will be in a separate room. (see organized above)
5...All animals will be pre quarantined in a stable, healthy environment and from a pathogen free facility only hours away so no shipping to the store. We will pick up stock
6...No wild corals ever!
7...90% captive raised fish eventually becoming 100% captive bred/raised
8... We will offer classes from basic setup and cycling to coral propagation
9... We will be freshwater planted and marine only. You won't see gold fish or glo fish
We would be hosting meetings as much as you want. We will have a separate room for this purpose.
I miss the days of the LFS where you and your children are welcome and known by name. I don't miss the mess, attitude and disorganization.
Now, fire away and let me know what you want. We want this to be your store too!
