When I go into a pet store, I would rather look around and be left alone, but have someone available when I need assistance. I only met one guy (Josh) and he was great. He kept some distance and answered all questions I asked. He seemed genuinely interested in making me happy, not being pushy and making as much money as possible off of me. He was easy to talk to and eager to help me enjoy my hobby more. He also gave me a few pointers I didn't know I needed, and now my tank is looking better than ever! Awesome!
There are many different tanks setup with different purposes. There are a bunch of 55 gal that are fish only, and a bunch of 40 gal with coral. Tanks are easily accessible and seem sturdy. When I was there the glass was free of algae and the lighting lit up the tanks nicely. There are even a couple couches to sit back for a few and just enjoy the view.
All fish I saw were colorful and active. They looked healthy and I watched them get fed while I was there.

TL Reefs is a new store that recently opened just outside Mountain Home. This is what I look for in a pet store:
Unbelievable store. If you haven't stopped by, you need to. This place will make you want a saltwater aquarium! After going to many other fish stores in Arkansas, this place easily has the best coral selection in the whole state. Nice, clean store, huge variety of healthy livestock, good prices and perfect customer service.
Holy smokes there is a bunch of coral in this place!! Each 40 gal was PACKED with all kinds of coral: small frag plugs to full large colonies. There was a huge selection of SPS and LPS, a bunch of clams, big selection of fish (some common, some fairly rare) and several types of anemones. There were only a few coral colonies that weren't looking their best, but it was a very small (>1%) portion, the rest were STUNNING. Huge bursts of color and extension, huge variety. Very impressive.
Tank appearance and cleanliness.
Equipment, food, and supplements.
Very helpful!
Livestock health and variety.
I also managed to check out the quarantine tanks. They were well maintained and were housing fish that were recovering from recent shipping.
Prices were very fair. A lot of the stuff for sale in the store is on eBay and the prices are very comparable to other sellers. I also checked a few fish prices to a few online sites and they were the same or a bit cheaper (but online you also pay shipping).
I wasn't very focused on equipment to purchase so I didn't look too heavily this trip. There is a front counter with the most common supplies for saltwater systems. I also saw a freezer with a good variety of higher end frozen food.
