Wow! I've been in there a few times. It's right around the corner from me.

He primarily has freshwater fish and a few birds. His saltwater section consists of about (10) 20gal long tanks, most of which are usually empty.

Someone could really spruce that place up. It's right off of Fry Rd, down the street from Bridgeland, Townlake, and Black Horse Ranch.

Good to see you active again Rick!
Yeah I stopped in a few times as well and had the same experience. Mostly freshwater like you say.

Thanks Mike. It's nice to be active on the forums again.

I am surprised he managed it this far. Sad to see any business go, but....there are many more packing up.
I bet that monthly rent is astronomical.

I went once and he really didn't have much. Could be a nice store with better selection.

I was waiting for Nemo and Friends to open but last time I went by it was still closed. Hopefully they still open.

My wife noticed that one a while back and mentioned it to me. Really hope they open too.

There is probably not much inventory

He wants someone to take over the shop lease

I thought about buying the one in the Woodlands a few yrs back. Guy wanted way too much money then 4 months later gave it away.
Wished he would have called me first.

I would assume it's an LLC

You could never make it off retail sales alone. Have to get a good tank servicing operation going.

What would a shop like this have the potential to pull in?

With a second wave of Covid lockdown? Nothing. The lockdowns have driven people out of business. I’d imagine people will be adverse to buy financial commitments like pets for some time.

Also the internet is going to limit sales of an aquariums to the immediate neighborhoods. I’m not familiar with that area, but how many households there would want a new tank per year/month? Staight brick and mortar retail of any sort is a tough business.
