Next to BestBuy?!?
There's no commercial space available in that building. Surely the PetSmart store is not closing. I did notice that the PetCo store down the road closed up a few weeks back, but that's Decatur and not Forsyth.

Hmm, maybe the new place is going into the new building just north of Goods Furniture (which is next to BestBuy). I think they had a convenience store in there initially that didn't make it.

Anyway, looking forward to the new guys. Hasn't been anything new around here for years. Last one I can recall is the shop that was in the mall several years back. That rent had to be a deal killer. Anything would beat the three choices we're currently stuck with.

I belive it was petsmart in the mall here in SPFLD that just closed up, May not have been petsmart but it was one of them big puppy mills.

Make contact with the guy tell him you are with a local club of 20 who wants a store tour before opening date, Hell give PM me his name & number I will see if I can get us hooked up!! lmao

I would like to work something out with a LFS in decatur or spfld to bad none are worth a dam that Ive seen.

Yes it is in the new strip mall right as you turn to go to best buy next to the gastation sory for the confusion. He made a refrence to this site i am not sure if he is a member? But i could talk to him when he calls me about the tank. I honstly have not gotten in to corals to much but he was ratling off some of the names witch i cant remember and some of them where $500-$600 but where awsome. But he has 3 trays i gess you would call them about 3'x12'x 12" deep i think i say a 120g sticker and they where for corals only. He has i would say 30 or so fish tanks set up. He said he was thinking about buying a led fixture for the main display that his cost on was $3,500 so it should be cool.
