I kind of shy away from pet stores that are chains, because I have read so much about puppy farms and unhealthy animals. This one has been around for a long time... and I used to buy fish there. (It is locally owned as far as I know. It is definitely not a chain.) I want to set my aquarium back up soon, and when I do, that's where I will get my supplies. They used to have monkeys and other cool animals just to look at (not for sale.) They still have some cool snakes and birds, but their mammals are gone. I'm not sure if the are under new management/ownership, or maybe the animals died. I know the one monkey and lemurs were there back in 97 for sure. They weren't for sale anyway, but I liked checking them out. The store is a little crowded and hard to find stuff, but I really like going there and checking eveything out. I trust them as a pet store and would buy just about anything from them.
