What do you call your LFS?

[MONTANTK]

Here’s a fun one! When you have to go to your LFS for whatever reason, what do you tell your friends/significant other/family etc?

For me, I just tell them I’m going to the fish store and they know exactly what that means.

 

[Kershaw]

Is there any other name to call a fish store then fish store?

if you call it aquarium it confuses people.

so I call it the fish store and if my wife’s asks witch one I call it by its name.

"Fish Store" here too. It's pretty self explanatory for us. Even before we had out tank up, we always called the seafood market, the "seafood market" so there's no confusion over which is which. Sometimes I'll call it by name.

I tell them I'm going to "Seascape" or "Gateway" because those are the names of my LFS

Pet store, aquarium store, store name. Maybe the responses won’t be so different after all haha

I call it "why did you switch to freshwater only"?

I work at my LFS so I just tell them I'm going to work and not to wait up for me because I always get stuck at the store an extra hour or 2 past my shift ;Hilarious

When I sneak to another saltwater store I usually just say I'm going to Brian's (owners name).

I tell the wife I’m going to Mark’s. He’s the owner whom I’ve gotten to be good friends with.

Ah I remember these days. Store closing at 9 and not coming home until 10-1030 because a new coral shipment came in and we got first dibs

true, every one I know locally in hobby Calls it by the name or fish store.

I also refer to extra money as fish money. Or if I’m going to do side work it’s work for fish money.

The only ones near me are big chains or focus mostly on other pets so I tend to use the term pet store. If I go to a place out of state that focuses mostly on saltwater fish and corals I find myself using the term reef shop. I'm not sure where I picked that up from though.

Petco.

 

[boacvh]

I say I am going to "David's". (Owner of fish store)

I say Pet Store or Fish Store. Wife asks which one and it’s either the local one, the one I like or the one she likes lol

 

[Mike from TN]

I say “I’m going to my therapy session”!

 

[mindme]

Fish store.

Although our fish store has this girl who works in it who has a bubble butt and always wears short shorts. So my wife and I jokingly call it the "butt store", but not the word butt.

Im going to the Fish Shop, then my Niece asks me to bring back sausage, chips, and peas.
You might have to British to understand that one
