My searches came up with little on google. Wilson pet supply is here in the Chicago area, I see their trucks servicing the pet stores. Go to the library, in the research section, and find the D&B industry guide. This is a series of 4-5 books, published a couple of times a year, which has every reasonable sized business in the country. D&B codes them with a SIC (standard industry code) so you should be able to look up every pet wholesaler in the country. If your adventurous, you can have D&B pull a report on the another pet store, and the report should list their major suppliers/vendors. |

If you have a university local to you that has a business school, try their library first. I work at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke and this is a staple of our library. When I used to do faculty research support, I used to hit D&B and the Compustat databases routinely for corporate info. Unfortunately, it's been about eight years since I did that and I have *finally* managed to purge my memory banks of the SIC codes or I would tell you what SIC you want to check. However, any librarian in a b-school library should be able to help you. Susan shsimko at duke dot edu |

Starting up a buisness, LFS, advice
I live in Rancho Cucamonga (by Ontario Airport) I know of two places that
you can get Koi from at an incredible price. I will email you their phone numbers etc. One is in Jurupa, other in Barstow! Where is your LFS going to be located? -- _______________________________________ "The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: The chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'." http://community.webshots.com/user/godwino "GigaDuck" wrote in message ...

It's probably so simple and obvious I'm going to slap myself, but it's just not coming to me! Sue "Just Me "Koi"" wrote in message ...

You must slap yourself loud enough for us to hear!
BTW (Sue that means by the way), BTW I have been working in the sun for a few days straight, that should explain anything I do wrong around here! I expect this situation to continue for the next 2 months! So please excuse me for any improper behavior, it's the southern California sun exposure! -- _______________________________________ "The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: The chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'." http://community.webshots.com/user/godwino "Sue Alexandre" wrote in message news:WBxOa.53517$G6.5326@lakeread04...
