after much thought we have decided to move oakville reef gallery to a new location.tom and myself have mulled it over for quite a while as moving a store is not an easy task.but with the growth of oakville reef gallery we dont have much of a choice as were crammed for space right now.as well as costly upgrades are required to the electrical of the building,on going renovations because of the age,wooden floors etc,our new facility will be double the floor space,concrete floors,25ft high ceilings and the space is never been rented which suites us better to customize it for our needs.we anticipate a better store with more product and of course more vats for our livestock.so far our moving date is scheduled for july 15 and anticipate no down time.

any chance that the new store will be called the pickering reef gallery. or at least the durham reef gallery. the drive from pickering sucks.

My suggestion of AJ / Tom / Flav setting up shop in the Jane and Dundas area was already shot down :D

Good luck with the move!

If you need to find a "temporary" home for some corals, give me a shout. I'm sure none of the little guys would go AWOL ;)

You know, instead of going through the hassle of moving all that livestock, you should have a big blowout sale of corals.

instead of going through the hassle, you should just store them in my tank...

Great to hear the news, funny that it will be right by BA's. I'm there to lend a hand as well, although I am planning on getting married around then... I'm sure jackie will understand.

ORG's lucky -- few stores (LFS or not) have such a loyal customer base that customers would volunteer time and labour to help out a move.

:D

Good job, guys!

Maybe ya'll should have a moving party -- those who actually help you move get a discount on livestock and / or gear before it gets moved ...
