They’re located in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is the northernmost major city in the state, so I don’t get to visit them very often, but it’s totally worth the trip. Since The Fish Crew was started by a group of friends who used to manage another pet store, they have the experience to combine the modern look of a mainstream pet store with the quirkiness and charm of a mom-and-pop store.
