List of LFS's - need input

[aquamom]

I'll be making the rounds! A couple listed here I hadn't heard of. I also hear there's a new one opening on Rte 97 in Salen, NH

Anyone have any 411 on this?

Ray, I have driven by. It is off exit 2 off 93. Just after the intersection at rte 28, it is one the left. I believe it is called (or going to be called) Jay's(?). They were not yet open as of 3 weeks ago.

[BrianMac]

I believe that Pet Club went out of business.

 

[Lourdes]

underwatwer exotics is also closed in worcester .

 

[CoastalAnna]

Coastal Aquatics in Freeport, Maine.
If you drive the speed limit, it's exactly 2 hours north of Boston.

coastal aquatics is not listed yet

 

[fanaglethebagle]

I believe that Pet Club went out of business.

I think they downsized into another town (is it bridgewater?)

 

[RayD]

Docs Petland
90 Main Street
North Reading, MA

My band has a rehearsal space in the same strip mall and I was in there last night. Not a bad place at all.

 

[reefsmurf]

Wasn't there one in Beverly? Can't remember the name.

 

[BrianMac]

I think they downsized into another town (is it bridgewater?)

Looked up their name on the internet. They were still listed in West Roxbury. Called the number listed and the machine said "the number is not in service".

I figured if they relocated they would have the number forwarded or some other information available

 

[sw300galma]

Belmont Pet, Easton Ma.

2 More stores

There is a store in Wilmington Ma called Wilmington Pet (Very Creative)
Small selection, staff is nothing excellent, but if you are in the area it is a quick stop now and then.

Also a GREAT store in Plymouth NH, Every time I go in there they ahve something I have not seen before. 3 tanks full of corals (not frags) 3 or 4 large tanks with fish and then a handfull of smaller tanks with inverts, smaller fish, ect.

I try to stop in every time I am up that Way.

[reefsmurf]

The only remnant of Pet Club in W. Roxbury is that puppy/pet store in the Braintree mall. I tracked down a former employee who had a myspace web page and got the lowdown.

 

[richardong]

Among so many, any advise and suggestion which store is the most reasonable price and live stocks.?

 

[zemuron114]

national Pet in plymouth, MA. OK store, small and doesn't focus to much on SW, but SW none the less

 

[Jocko]

Yeah Pet Club downsized to Canton, but then ended up closing shop. So they can safely be removed from the list. The Canton location was so small they didn't actually have any aquatic livestock there anyhow.

>coastal aquatics is not listed yet<

Anna, I'd love to list it, but that would be unfair to all the other shops that are just outside the 2 hour limit. As I posted earlier, the rule was whatever mapquest delivered as time required would be the limit. I do not know the address of costal aquatics.....(no, I got it, see below), but if it turns out to be within the 2 hour limit it will be included. As I mentioned before, when I did the Mapquest test it returned the following:

>Boston to Freeport ME:

Total Est. Time: 2 hours, 11 minutes Total Est. Distance: 124.19 miles <

Run again with the correct address:

Boston, MA US
Revise | New Directions

491 Us Route 1
Freeport, ME 04032-7021, US

Total Est. Time: 2 hours, 7 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 120.05

Brid96, the two stores you mention are already listed.

>Among so many, any advise and suggestion which store is the most reasonable price and live stocks.?<

That's the point of the survey. However, most people in the club tend to agree that the club sponsors are some of the best shops in the Boston area. Question is...which is the BEST?

Aquatic Wildlife Company, Manchester, CT (1 hr 40 min from Boston)
Great shop, they've got a HUGE tank display of lookdowns that they've so far refused to sell because no one's had a big enough tank.

 

[Greg Hiller]

Jim,

>Fishy Business?<

This was originally listed, but it was removed. I had thought that Marc had announced the closing of his store with this thread:

>http://www.bostonreefers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=23767

I have a call in to Marc to clarify.

>Petco has a new store in Falmouth, Ma, scheduled to open 7/15.<

Good to add it to a list of LFS's, but I'm going to leave it off a survey since it doesn't exist yet.

>Typo - Something Fishy, Inc., Warwick, MA - Its Warwick, RI <

Thanks!

>Aquatic Wildlife Company, Manchester, CT <
