We have a new, 35,000 sq-ft warehouse in Lexington, Kentucky! Cory was onsite for 5 days, helping to set up more than 100 plant tanks. Not all of the inventory has arrived yet, so get a sneak peek of what our new place looks like. We've got packing stations, a conveyor belt, giant commercial freezers for brine shrimp, rows of racks and palettes, and Randy puttering around on a forklift in the background.

The fact that your employees are willing to move with you across the country is a huge testament to your leadership and treatment of your employees.
Congratulations Cory! What a big step forward. I am so proud of you and everything you accomplished. You deserve all the success in the world and the hobby is better for it.
Awesome Cory! I am an Operations manager/distribution faciltiy leader of a 200k sqft Fulfillment center on the northern outskirts of Cincinnati, Ohio. Love this video since it incorporates two of my passions, distribution/ Operations and fish keeping! Been a long time viewer and customer. I would love to continue to see future content of your operation from receiving, picking and packing/shipping process. We ship on average 1000 orders a day and inventory 15M inventory. Im excited to see your future progress! Congrats!
Congratulations Cory! Man, I step away from the channel for 6 months and come back to you expanding across the US?!? It's good to see that good people are doing good!
Cory, Lexington welcomes you! I love my city. If you want food recs or anything I would be elated to help. Happy you are here.
This is way too cool, Cory.
Congratulations on everything you built so far.
I'm just a random guy on the internet but man, am I proud of you and your journey.
I wish you nothing but all the success you deserve.
Easily becoming my favorite business in America, I just hope Cory can keep growing and not become greedy like every other big business in this country
Congratulations on the big move.
I ordered some stuff from you this week and it said it came from Kentucky.
This video explains why.
Cool Beans dude, I wish you and your crew all the success you deserve.
The growth is impressive and amazing! As a fellow business owner on a much smaller scale I can understand the reward that something like that can give you for the amount of effort and work you have put in over the years! It is seen and appreciated by everybody in this industry. Excited to see more and excited that y'all have moved into our neck of the woods.
Hey Cory, consider investing into a cardboard compactor / bander. With the amount of cardboard you will go through they are a life saver and will also make it alot easier to recycle. You can pick up used industrial ones for decent prices and definitely worth the money.
I did t even notice he didn’t have one . I can second this !! The recyclers pay by the bale
I also second this, I believe people buy the cardboard that gets crushed
Seconded!
As a resident of Lexington I'm super excited that you've chosen to have your warehouse located here! Now I beg you to open a second retail store here because were seriously lacking in any decent LFS!
Completely agree with the desperate need for a quality LFS in Lexington!
Agreed. Bring on the fishies.
aw dang, i thought there WAS a retail store that was going to be operated out of KY too. or that the store was moving. (jumped into comments before vid because i couldn't help it). CORY COME TO ATL lol!
Wow! I've been a follow from way back when you had that talented (artist) 1st employer, who was also your original side kick on 1st ep of RFT. Now to see you grow to this juggernaut. As you show cased your highs and lows of your journey along the way. You deserve the success because of the hard work you put in. You try and make the hobby better, not just sustainable (donations to those industries), but as a hobbies 1st, you improve on products that are already out in the market. You've also shown that you're an honest person when it comes to advice. You not just trying to sell people your products as the cure. It makes me so happy to see a person like that succeed.
Congrats Cory on the expansion.
I think it is exciting to see this warehouse because no other company does this! Thank you for sharing!
Had to check our if this move was legit - had a text message come in saying Aquarium Co-op moved closer to me 😮 Congratulations guys!
just wow! from a humble small fish store with you and a couple of employees to now a second larger warehouse half way across the country. and yet still your hands on getting it up and running. good luck and stay well.
What an awsome upgrade, and you’re only 1 1/2 hours away from me. Congratulations on your expansion and continued success at Aquarium Co-Op.
Cory, this is amazing!!! Great for the east coast!! I can't wait for my local store bring your product in. Congratulations and thank you for returning me to nermdom!! Your products have no equal and fish are breeding in my aquarium. Something I rarely experienced early on pre nermdom. My plant growth is through the roof. Easy green of coarse! Hopefully my wife won't see this as I need a bigger tank!
🎂🎉 Happy Happy Birthday Corey 🎂🎉
Happy Birthday Cory !! This is amazing to see considering how you started out working alone in your little shop with your puffer keeping you company . Remarkable ! I know you’re working hard , but try to take a minute to enjoy this moment in your life !!
And a very happy birthday to my favorite fish Tuber
So happy and proud of the business you’ve built! Congratulations to all the COOP people! Just awesome. 👏
Looking really good. Proud of you guys!!!
Wait, what?? Lexington?! I’m thrilled, I live in Lexington! Congratulations on the growth of your business!
Congratulations, Cory! I hope this means there will be a retail store in Lexington, too!
Welcome to the Midwest! Looks like an awesome facility!
I'm so proud of you, Good Luck!
the size of this warehouse is crazy! congratulations, this is very exciting
have you tried KFC in Kentucky and how does it compare to the rest of the world
@FishForThought At one time we had buffets in all of our KFCs. COVID killed that, and now there's not much of a reason to go anymore. Popeyes is way better. And this is coming from a KY native. I live about an hour away from the first KFC.
Oh, how far we've fallen!
Making the hobby better and better everyday! The quality is unmatched and care for the animals is amazing❤
Congrats Cory! You've worked so hard for this and I love to see you grow! Long live the co-op!!
I'm one of the ones it will slow down for, I'm a little bummed because my orders would arrive so fast, and I'm sad about the lost jobs here, but I do understand and I'm happy for everyone else. I'm also happy to see that you're still providing good jobs with decent wages and benefits and didn't move there to reduce labor costs. I've always had a lot of respect for the way you appear to value your employees and treat them well.
Welcome to Lexington!
Wishing you and the crew the best
Congrats on the new place! Personally, I enjoy these videos its the inside look.
Congratulations to you and the Co op family!!! To us customers too! 🥳 💚🩵💙
Looking good bro nice to see things progressing for you love your products that I’ve used so far! With the new space hopefully you’ll come out with some new products!
It’s cool to see your successful business expanding and changing over the years, I remember years ago watching your videos on RUclips and I was super excited back then to get the easy green fertilizer since you had just started selling it in Canada and it was available on Amazon in Canada. I got a new fish this year and I was looking on Amazon Canada for more aquarium coop stuff and couldn’t find it, so I went on your website and found out that you were doing store partnership distribution now and you have a partner store in Canada who does national free shipping over a certain price point, which was amazing, so I went on their website and I’m really excited to try the test strips I bought when they get here next week, they were such a good deal too for such a large number of testers so I got the 100 ammonia and 200 multi test strips bottles and a few other things I needed at the same time, crossing my fingers that the PH test doesn’t require KH to work properly like the ones I bought at petsmart without reading the labels closely enough did because I’ve been having a lot of trouble keeping any KH in the water of my fish tank while running a higher tannin setup for my betta and shrimp tank, I don’t think I saw anything mentioned in the description that said it needed KH to work but I might’ve missed seeing something or misread something where it said that because I do have a history of buying test strips that aren’t designed for my setup after I misread the information on the description so I hope I was paying attention while reading the description this time. Best of luck to you and your team with your new warehouse location.
Wow what a big beautiful space! ❤
Everything works good when you do something with passion.
Didn't realize how big the new w/house was gonna be...just beautiful.
May its completion be on time & without incident 🙏🏻
I just received my latest shipment from the Co-Op and I have to say the speed was unexpectedly awesome! When I checked tracking it was in KY and I thought dang that was fast, next thing you know it was on my doorstep! My shipments from ACO have usually taken several days to get to me (FL, so understandable) but this time it was TWO DAYS!! Yippeeee!!! Cory and the ACO team rule!
This feels really good knowing a Aquarium Co-op is going to be so close to me in TN. Not that it takes a long time to get orders. But now I know there's a big ol warehouse close by filled with the goodies I order. Ty Cory for supporting the hobbyists in the US.
So glad you opened a warehouse in Kentucky. I live in East Tennessee and the plants I ordered late last night should be delivered by tomorrow!
Nice. Thanks for taking us along!
Welcome to KY! If you’re looking for eats in Lexington, you won’t have to look too hard!
Yes. Very excited !! Congratulations
So excited and happy for you!
Nice space! Congratulations 🎉
So happy for you all in your new place and grateful for your sharing your experience
Wow that's a BIG space! Between you and Dustin, Lexington will soon be shipping a majority of aquarium plants sold in the US.
This is awesome. Good to see the growth for ya'll.
Congratulations 🎊🎈 ❤ everyone for the hard work and dedication! Rock on !!!!
Awesome. I am so happy for you!!! You and your crew are amazing!
Huge. The growth and the new warehouse!
Wow!!! Huge undertaking. Still have a lot of work ahead of you.
Best wishes. Thanks for the tour.
Wow, it's really neat to see how much you guys have grown and how quick. Very well deserved.
Wow HUGE warehouse!! Happy belated Birthday Cory
Huge congratulations! 🎉Hard work does pay off! This looks amazing!
Cory you’re an inspiration! Congratulations and wish you the best
Congrats on the move! I ordered 2 of the new mugs and got them overnight -vs- 4 business days. Fantastic!
Congrats Cory so excited for you guys…. It looks amazing! Can’t wait all the updates.
Good luck with the new warehouse and Happy Birthday!!
Massive W, Cory, congrats. Love to see any business with co-op in the name expanding
They are not a co-op from my understanding. The only co-op is the name. It's the biggest issue I have with Cory. I've searched all over for the answer and asked it in previous videos comment section. I do work at a worker co-op and it's frustrating for capitalists to be using the term. I truly enjoy what Cory and his team do but it's very frustrating that he chose co-op for his name.
@@spacem0nkey411 oh, what 🤔 I just assumed it was a co-op .. interesting.
Congrats. Y’all definitely earned it.
Congrats Cory! I’ve been watching for years and I’m super stoked to see you moving on up. You deserve it!
Congratulations! So excited that the new warehouse is close to where we live! As a newbie to this hobby Cory and his videos have been very helpful! Love this company!
Yes, it is crazy exciting!
Wow, that's an impressive amount of space. Congratulations!
Congratulations man i watch your videos and after years got back into the hobby. Thank you for all the knowledge you share 🙏🏾
Congratulations Cory. The new warehouse looks really beautiful.
Awesome!! Love the expansion and being from VA it's cool to have you all on the east coast! Best wishes for the future!
Kudos to you and your team. Good to see great things happen to great people. Stay blessed 🙏🏽
THIS IS AMAZING! Congrats on growing your business. Been following you for years. I buy a few supplies - but I'm in the saltwater world.
This is crazy exciting for me !! I live here in Lexington. Are you going to be opening a store over here ?
Looking awesome 👏🏻 and Happy Belated Birthday 🥳
🎉Congratulations. I'm very happy for you.
Following you guys on your journey, its weird but some how makes me feel proud too.
Just think… all of us fans that you’ve been teaching all of these years could come work for you and already have the knowledge of everything in the warehouse. All of the designs and functions of everything. Making it easy to spread the word to new comers and help grow your our dream. This is amazing and I hope to be able to come work for you one day. I honestly would like to work in an actual fish room! That’s my dream! Maybe one day
Congratulations and happy birthday! 🎉
Congratulations, Cory and Team Aquarium Co-Op, for continuing success.
Congratulations!!
Welcome to Kentucky! Couldn't have chosen a better, more centralized location. I'm just south of y'all in Richmond and a LFS owner. Would love to meet ya when you come back for an visit.
Also, happy belated birthday!
Good luck with the store opening. I'll try and stop by sometime. If you ever need a freshwater wholesaler, send us an email :)
This is an awesome milestone for the company. Congratulations! We received our shipment this week in record time! Great job Cory and Team!!
Wow, really getting big for sure. That's awesome. We really love your products and love the passion behind the new build out. Cheers!
congrats on the new warehouse Cory! I've been following you for many years and it's wonderful to see how all your hard work and sacrifices have paid off for you, your family, and your co-workers. Will you now be shipping out fish as well or still just plants, fish food etc.?
Congrats Cory!! It looks amazing 🤩 I'm so happy that in Canada we can order Aquarium co-op products online at April's Aquarium. Great products!!
Happy birthday Cory!! 🥳🎉
You're truly inspirational! I'm so happy for you to have lived out this dream!!!!
I never regret a dollar spent on the website. You're the man!
I love the growth! Congratulations!
Woohoo🎉 how exciting! Congrats !!

WOW talk about SPACE!!!! Good luck with the new warehouse.
omg KENTUCKY! i could actually make a trip out and drive there! better than WA anyway. i think that's a good move when you consider distribution of shipping. more of a hub area.
