Hey Indiana! I work at a small locally owned pet store (yes, they do still exist) called Martins Pet and Garden in Elkhart. We specialize in freshwater and saltwater tanks, reptiles, birds and small companion animals, along with a number of gardening and outdoor supplies. This is my shameless plug for the store :biggrin:.

I'll keep this thread updated with our current sales and let you guys know what we have in stock worth mentioning. Here's a few pics:

any relation to martins aquarium the used to be in PA?

 

[legomaniac89]

Nope, unless my boss opened in a new location without telling me

 

[jreich]

no the martins aquarium i was thinking of was in PA but closed many years ago. it was a sad day when that place closed. it was a really nice store with lots of exotics. i used to go there as a kid. i was hoping they just opened up shop in another state.

If i wasn't 230 miles away I'd love to check the place out!

 

[crimsonbull57]

Haha, me too

Car pooling up there would be a good idea... cut the cost down and gives a chance hang out and get to know each other better.

Lego, we'd probably be getting more stuff from you that from than from the shop. But I'd love to come and check it out.
