New LFS in the tri-cities

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

Ok i have a friend who wants to open up a LFS , know i come from a long line of LFS owners and Breeders so he has come to me for advice so my question is what city to open one up in !

[Danielie21]

Benton City. So I don't have to goto town once a month for supplies

KENNEWICK! Booyah! Plenty of inexpensive retail space for lease for cheap. And come on, I spend wayyyy too much on this stuff not to do it!

Dont forget to think about that Tax free oregon connection 
Only a 30 min drive down here save you guys in sales tax

Hmmm. Not a bad idea either!

My thoughts: Open a store where you can survive. The last thing we want is to see someone come and go (assuming they're a good place). I will make the drive anywhere around here for another choice. I'm sure that's a sentiment most of us share. But just be sure to set yourself up for success. THAT'S key.

And maybe that happens to be in Kennewick. Off 395 and 27th. Nice and close to home.

what do you want him build next to petco , well my uncle us to own every bit of that land at on time made a killing setting on it for all those years and then selling it off  , but that would have to be one very established business to make it next door to the box store in the same business

I was kidding.. Anywhere it goes is just fine with me. I'd just be excited to have another choice!

[Cannedmulder]

Kennewick is a good choice but I would think somewhere else would be good just because Kennewick has a few fish stores already!  Like someone else said....go where you can survive and people will come if they need something.
