Local fish stores closed again...

FASTnDIRTY · 07/11/2013, 01:56 PM

Why post hours that say you are open from 12-7pm if at 145 the doors are closed and locked... 2 of the 3 west side stores closed when they should be open... Grrrrrrrrr, not happy right now...

It seems to be a very regular thing in this town.

chuy marquez · 07/11/2013, 02:35 PM

Some of the store owners have maintenance contracts to make extra cash and help keep the doors opened. Things do not always go smooth or as planned and delays happen. The best thing to do is call before you go.

Surprise surprise... Closed again when it's supposed to be open... They just might lose my business to an online site...

pnavarro170 · 07/15/2013, 04:21 PM

i went by an hour ago, aqualife was close ;(

TimGentry · 07/15/2013, 04:54 PM

Not surprised! Unfortunately.

dixiegirl21191 · 07/15/2013, 11:16 PM

I went today too! Closed. I saw pictures on their instagram that indicates that they may be on vacation. I love that store but a little notice would be nice.

FASTnDIRTY · 07/16/2013, 08:11 AM

Neon sign is on, says open... Hours on door, says open... Facebook says open... Door is locked... And yes, I knocked. The store looks great with all the upgrades, but if they don't open when they say they are open, they are losing business... Sad

Frankys Salt · 07/17/2013, 09:07 AM

I think there on vacation on FB some new pics where posted looks to me like there out of town

TimGentry · 07/17/2013, 08:37 PM

You would think they would at least post a notice or something that they are on vacation.

pnavarro170 · 07/17/2013, 10:17 PM
