Jennifer is currently working on picture and video updates. Since July, we have painted the store with a fresh coat of blue paint, painted the floors black, added shelving with many, many new products, and met lots of new customers.<br /><br />We continue to love talking to our customers. They are so friendly and great to chat with. Alex's Mom, Lori, and Alex's wife, Jennifer, are at the store just about every Saturday and love getting to know the customers. <br /><br />Stay tuned for new posts and updates!Reef Remedieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04151943910064501858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970889322375902223.post-38217374196717487432009-07-06T23:30:00.002-05:002009-07-06T23:43:33.069-05:00Lots of work!!Just finished my first Monday and boy am I tired... Mondays used to be slow and boring but now I have a whole new respect for them. Now on Mondays I perform Tank Services while an employee takes care of the Shop and for some reason I figured this would be a normal day but was sadly mistaken. I felt like I was running a marathon all day as I contacted customers to schedule Servicing times, helped customers purchase water, teach Ben how to mix saltwater, and attempt to work through my never ending "to-do" list... Thankfully I gained a new customer today and was pleased to be able to squeeze them in today's schedule! To top it all off, I had to take advantage of today's beautiful weather and cut the lawn when I got home at 8:30. My lovely wife her awesome mother are going to come in to help on Thursday so I can run down to Dallas and stock back up on water bottles! I don't know what I would do without such a supportive family!!!Alex Arnoldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15436207876478008399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970889322375902223.post-84346180731014059732009-07-06T18:04:00.006-05:002009-07-06T18:28:53.815-05:004th of July at our Store - Cute Fish Tags!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY2Wvgk68YgBu1FajvU3hwWlnFnbz8k0upCmvLyKaPaa7rUU4g3NcEJNjm0g2r-xN6UVXfidwY4oHPNnT83PNbHhb0sJEIhAhogkeRnyfgwQ0H2inp8QuRTweUx6415T3oNsJjoYpRhy95/s1600-h/IMG_2643.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY2Wvgk68YgBu1FajvU3hwWlnFnbz8k0upCmvLyKaPaa7rUU4g3NcEJNjm0g2r-xN6UVXfidwY4oHPNnT83PNbHhb0sJEIhAhogkeRnyfgwQ0H2inp8QuRTweUx6415T3oNsJjoYpRhy95/s400/IMG_2643.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355489006787686786" border="0" /></a>On Saturday, July 4th, Alex's Mom Lori and I worked the shop while Alex went out to do his aquarium services.

His dream of opening a storefront has finally come true. After three and a half years of working towards this goal, we are so incredibly excited that all of Alex's hard work has paid off.<br /><br />So tomorrow Alex is meeting with Jerry and Diane, the current owners of the shop. I am leaving work early to meet Alex and officially begin our first day as owners of the shop. Jerry and Diane are going to be helping Alex and I understand the day to day workings of the store.<br /><br />And for a little background on what is going on...the shop is currently called "All Pure Water Store" and specializes in purified water and water supplies, like crocks, bottles, etc. Our plan is to continue on with the water sales, but add more to it. Almost immediately, we will be adding salt water to our supply, to be used in saltwater aquariums.<br /><br />Over time, we will be adding livestock as well as fish supplies (food, tanks, gravel, etc.). Our goal is to have a "fish room" that will be housed at the back of the store, away from sunlight for the safety and health of the fish.<br /><br />Alex will continue to do tank services as well. I will be working at the store on the weekends and sometimes during the week so that Alex can take care of his tank services.<br /><br />For more information about Reef Remedies, visit our website <a href="http://www.reefremedies.com/">here.</a> We also have a Facebook page, click <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/Denton-TX/Reef-Remedies/96689043585?ref=share">here</a> to see it!<br /><br />I hope to be posting some pictures of the store very soon. I also wanted to say a quick thank you to all our friends and family that have been so supportive over the last few months as we try to get everything in order for the store. We could not have even dreamed of this venture without you all.<br /><br />The journey of owning a small business is just beginning for Alex and I, and I can't wait to see what lies ahead!Reef Remedieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04151943910064501858noreply@blogger.com0
