I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of knowledge of the aquarium department staffers -- they seem to care about their charges and know a lot about them. The tanks are clean, attractively lit, and not crowded.

We also go there to refill our cat litter containers -- they have a good bulk deal.

Now, if Lechmere were still across the street...!

Pros: Really knowledgeable fish people, good cat litter deal

Cons: Otherwise, a typical big chain store
