Of course, Popinjay - who insists on accurate statements from others - has made a claim that is not at all clear:SandmanSaying "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.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.
The store is called "Colonial Photo & Hobby" and consists of merchandise related to photo and merchandise related to hobbies. The part of the store that is devoted to merchandise related to photo makes up some 30% of the store, or really 16%.Tony CooperSandman
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.
I have no idea where you're getting the 15,000 number from,
I hope you are tall and that your head is above the gondola height. Otherwise, you might have trouble squeezing through the aisles.Tony CooperSandman
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.
True. Especially for overweight Americans, I bet.
