I am the girl who ALWAYS comes with her mom into your store. I think your
store is absolutely wonderful. I love your animals. By the way the animals
look,the staff probably takes very good care of them. In fact, I wish I could
work there even though I'm only 11 years old. But,I'm turning 12 soon!

I have found that all the pet stores I've been to Jacks is the one I like
to buy my fish from. They carry freshwater and saltwater. Their tanks are
well taken care of and their people help you out alot. Supplies for any animal
you might own.

Pretty neat and clean store. Good collection of fish. No exotics or marines, but healthy fish. (No obvious signs of parasites/overcrowding/overfeeding/disease)
A little lacking in the depth of supplies, but feature at least two kinds of each filter type etc.
Good plant collection. Plants tend to grow nicely and dont *brown out* when brought home.
Pet shop policy includes quarantining fish, and knowledgeable folk - they wont sell you four oscars for your ten gallon.
Disadv : They do sell gf bowls, and they do carry bettas in cups.

There is just about every type of fish found here that you'd ever want. Each continent (except Antarctica, Europe and N. America) has its own section with tons of species of fish, as well as different regions of the sea for Marine Fish. In all, there are close to 450 tanks, and around 1000 species of fish. There is also an extensive dry goods section with tanks ranging in size from 5.5 to 275 gallons, as well as just about any type of necessity or accessory you'd want. The staff is very helpful and full of information. If you have a question, they can answer it.

Fantastic selection for a store it's size. All of the tanks are extremely
well cared for and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and courteous. Took
the time to package my fish in extra large bag, included lots of water, and
placed in a Styrofoam container for my long trip home.

This store just opened recently at the local mall and its a pretty different
pet store. They have a really big selection of cichlids and other freshwater
fish. Plus the thing that put them apart from other stores is some of their
different animals like hedgehogs, flying squirrels, and some crazy looking
tropical birds. They also had a whole bunch of nice looking puppies that
were purebred and they had all sorts of animal merchandise. Definitely a
bad place to walk into with a credit card!

Comments:
HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE PLACE!!! Petstores are horrible anyways but this is just
sick. The puppies are all in "deep sleeps" (hmm... wonder why), they are extremely
unsocialized, and one puppy labeled a Cairn Terrier (defiantly not one) was
sick. He had very smelly, mucousy diarrhea and runny eyes and was laying their
motionless. The poor thing was so weak it wasn't even phased when people touched
it. They have been reported, but they were reported before for sick animals
and weren't closed down. Please, do not support pet stores that sell dogs
and cats, ESPECIALLY this one.

Chris and Kelly Gimbel are very knowledgeable people. They have a variety
of fish from guppies, tetra's, cichlids, salt and freshwater and then some
unusual kinds,and live plants. They're tanks are ALWAYS clean. They carry
all kinds of food and supplies on the market. They are friendly people that
actually will ask YOU questions before selling you a fish. Such as your tank
size, what fish you have already...etc.. Chris will also test your water for
you. You can call or stop in the store and ask him any question and he is
more then willing to help you out. He also carries reptiles..snakes, lizards,
etc.. Give 'em a call today! They love their fishy friends just like we do!
