I don't lie, and you know I am happy to substantiate my claims. It was an estimate, and a positive one. Here is the store layout:

That's not a scale drawing.

it's what's on their web site: <http://www.colonialphotohobby.com/layout.htm>

Yes, I know. I linked to it several days ago. It is not a scale drawing. It's somewhat representative of the layout, but not at all an accurate representation.

Of course, Popinjay - who insists on accurate statements from others - has made a claim that is not at all clear:

just as I didn't include the size of the entire Colonial store either, since it's some 70% hobby things like model airplanes and such.

Saying "hobby things" indicates he's talking about units of merchandise, but his later post indicates he's talking about square feet allocated to camera products. He's also said it is tiny.

The store is 15,000 square feet. Even taking his estimate of 30% of the square footage, that's 4,500 square feet devoted to photography products.

If you've been there, and I have many times, the biggest problem in the photography department is the narrow aisles because the gondola shelving is jammed so close together and there's very little space between them and the long camera counter.

If he wants to say it's a tiny store, it's OK though. He wanted to visit a camera store and I provided the name of one and directions. I can't be responsible for his disappointment and don't feel badly about his sneering.
