About This Store

Brost's Aquarium and Hobby has an excellent selection of games and puzzles at good prices, but the store is overwhelmingly described as having a severe, nauseating smell of cat urine and ammonia that makes it difficult or impossible for many customers to stay and shop. Some reviewers appreciate the selection enough to tolerate the odor, while others leave immediately. The store also sells candy bars at the front counter, which is noted as a health concern.
