Customer service comes with a price. 50 cents more here and there is really no big deal for the price of there extra service.
One of my local shops in north jersey after 100+ years is closing there doors soon as well.
The funny thing is if you are a regular at these local places they generally give you a discount so in reality they are actually probably cheaper anyway.
Im going to miss this place shopping there for 30 years.
Sucks but big box stores take over day after day.

Favors Pete did for us "out of town" anglers were mind bothering sometimes. I didn't buy much from him but I brought over a few Johnny Walki@.

100+ years? Newark Sinker/Fairfield Sporting Goods has been around for a long, long time. That was the only store I know that might have come close but not 100+ years. The guys who were there when it moved from Newark were incredible. Frank, Adrian, and Clarence really knew their stuff. That was another place that would do rod and reel repairs. I know they would take a damaged reel in from a customer and if it was an emergency, they would take a reel out of a box and replace the damaged part with a part from a new reel without having the customer go through the warranty hassle. They did the same with rods too.

Pete always does us right. Always open early and has what you need. Not all tackle shops are like that. I refuse to get ripped off and will drive extra miles for that reason. Notice that the one on 35 is not open early?
