Saltwater Depot

Post by mewickham »

I went out to Saltwater Depot on Wednesday afternoon to donate some extra plants. They had closed early, leaving a sign on the door that, due to unforseen circumstances, they had closed early and would be open at 10:00 a.m. the next morning. Not wanting to waste another trip, I've called on the phone yesterday and today and gotten no answer. Does anyone know if they are open and what is going on?

I finally managed to get someone on the phone and made a trip in there today. They are open. Brent had to move and there was no one to cover.

I have since heard that Brent quit-- which is a little weird because I thought he was part owner. When I went to Saltwater Depot today, even though the neon "Open" sign was blaring, the doors were locked. Does anyone know if Saltwater Depot is still in business?

That's good news. For a minute there, I thought we were going to lose another area store.

My prediction is that it won't open again unless someone new buys it. Hope I'm wrong. Denny
If it was easy, anyone could do it!
