It's nowhere near as big and has nowhere near as much stock - but they do have a fair bit of fun stuff crammed into their store - and I spent a chunk of cash there as well! I think the cost of land in the Grater Vancouver area would make it prohibitively expensive to have a store as huge as the Sentry Box... timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-82753437975578890302018-07-17T13:07:58.245-07:002018-07-17T13:07:58.245-07:00We stopped in Calgary during our cross-Canada move...We stopped in Calgary during our cross-Canada move. Our dog was suffering from sneezes and red eyes and seemed pretty miserable and we took her to a vet (turned out to be an allergic reaction to all those wild fires). I hung around awaiting them to fill a prescription when I looked across the road. It was a sign. More specifically, a sign with the words Sentry Box on it. Naturally, I had to have a look. Amazing place. <br /><br />If there had been more space in the car, I would have bought more than a few bottles of paint and a couple of books. (The car had been packed to the roof when we had left Ontario, but when my wife found a sale on dishes and a piece of our china set in Edmonton, I had to disassemble the dog seat to make room for these new purchases and the dog had to make the rest of the journey in the front with us.)<br /><br />I'll have to visit Imperial Hobbies in Vancouver to see how it compares. <br />siggianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964979635375875224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-38862704960676107252018-07-17T10:34:26.768-07:002018-07-17T10:34:26.768-07:00Yeah, I needed home for a rest.
