I just got a job working as the aquatic specialist in the freshwater planted tank section of a new store!!!!!! I love my job!!! my last 12 hour shift felt like 2 hours:icon_cool I get PAID to PLANT PLANTS!!!! Holy crow can you belive that? I could not have better luck:thumbsup:

Where in Rockford is this store? My parents live there and I may be home for Easter on Saturday and would like to see some more variety in the places that I buy plants from. It is probably much cheaper than buying from my LFS here in Chicago.

 

[Mr.ThomasWalls]

Oh I have to change profile...I moved to belvidere and am working in marengo. It is south east of rockford by 15 miles or so

 

[Mr.ThomasWalls]

Store opens for business on the 14th so come in to check it out.

 

[Gonzo8]

Cool, Merango is pretty close to Rockford, just a little bit off of I-90. Do you have an estimate on how many min or miles it is away from I-90?

 

[Mr.ThomasWalls]

about 4 miles from the truckstop. Here is the info

[Mr.ThomasWalls]

I posted store info

 

[Owen Stubbs]

Any further word MrThomas? Opening still planned as originally scheduled?

 

[Mr.ThomasWalls]

YES store is opening in the morning at 10 am sharp. You folks who can make the trip would be well advised to do so. LOTS of RARE and NICE things to be had at a good price. Come on out and see me at my new job!!! Be sure to tell me you are from here when you see me. The store has ANYTHING you could want, or CAN get it for you. TOM

They do have a web site Corbin's Pets

Site looks nice but it seems they don't update it often. Really not much info either and no info on plants at all.

I went about a week ago. Really disappointed. Smelled awful inside. Fish sucked. Had a lot of reptiles and spiders and frogs though.
