Our New Store!

Well it took long enough lol, but we finally have a store!

 

I really don't know the rules with name dropping when not being a sponsor...yet , so I won't. Even though we do not have online sales...yet. We ARE however fully setup in the front side of the store, and we carry some pretty cool shizz if I do say so myself. I had to make sure to carry as much of the good stuff as possible, Ecotech, AI, Bubble Magus, Aquamaxx, and more. We do not have the SW systems operational yet, but if you know me then you know it's going to be cool when it's done being plumbed up. We have our frag tanks on the way as well, I am excited about those especially. The freshwater systems are done cycling, and fish are coming in within the next two days! So if you are located anywhere in or around DFW, especially Flower Mound/Grapevine area and you need to pick up some cool gear or products (livestock is coming soon!) for Christmas gifts or for yer greedy self, then come on down!

 

I guess it's kind of up to you to find out where exactly we are, until I find out the rules with sponsorship and all that. I think it's actually gonna be a sweet little store guys and gals, hopefully something bigger one day as well!

Congratulations. Wishing you good fortune.

 

 

Thanks so much! It's been a lot of hard work, but things are really coming together nicely. I feel bad that it is not fully operational like I intended, but we got a hell of a deal on an acrylic central SW system, so we kind of changed directions mid-construction. Thank goodness though, I did NOT feel like drilling two holes in fifty 40G Breeders! The store front looks just like I imagined it to though, and I have to remind myself we have only been working on it since mid October.

Awesome, how far is grapevine away from Burleson. I should be around there for the holidays. I would love the chance to come in and check your place out.

Oh and I am not sure if you can see any in the pictures, but some of the price tags are misprints, and we may appear to be crazy expensive. There was an issue we had when entering prices and some of the items were entered thinking that the MSRP was OUR cost...so you can imagine what that did to the margins on some of the stuff. A 12 oz bottle of Prime is not 24.99 lol

 

We are actually going to be one of the best priced stores around, if not THE best priced. We will match competitors with no prob as long as we aren't losing money on the deal, which wouldn't happen anyway.

 

Wow, congrats! Everything is impressive looking. But really, who hung those clings on the door? They look a wee bit off.

 

yeah not me lol. I will fix them. It's just static.

wow that is one heck of an investment love everything looks nice and clean & hope you have a healthy future! That is always stressful as heck getting it all setup. Do it right and take your time as you know shortcuts will come out in the end!

Thanks for the replies guys! I am super excited as well.

 

You know I just looked through all these photos and realized I don't have any timer/powerstrips...dang. I will order some tomorrow. We close in 40 minutes.

Wow! I especially like the large amounts of frag tanks and the skimmer display. Very useful to see if it will fit in the tank.

 

Why thank you. I keep all the boxes in the back, because if you are like me and buying a 180$+ piece of equipment , you want that factory box!

 

I had someone tell me earlier it looked like the display in a head shop lol.

Btw , really nice store. Can't wait to see it stocked and with customers. All the best
