This store is in Bells Corners. I think it's at 120 or 150 Robertson Road.

The store is at 150 Robertson rd, at the traffic light across from Hooters. It's in the plaza where the Mongolian Village Restaurant is located.

Joco and all,
The store is indeed located in the same plaza where Green Drake started way back when.
One light West of Moodie drive, and just across from Hooters.
Same plaza as Price Choppers...

Was in there Friday with a friend and picked up (each of us) a float-tube. Water skeeter Day Tripper Lite...
http://www.waterskeeter.com/ and all accessories. My buddy is about 6 ft 4 and 285lbs. He Floats & Fishes with no issues...
And a link/map as it seems to be in question. The zoom is tight on this map, so zoom out to see where it is...

Popped in there Sunday afernoon for a quick look see. Certainly have to go back for a more in depth look around. The float tubes sure look interesting.

As Hookup mentioned (I'm the buddy!)- I'm 6'5" and 285lbs- tested the Daytripper Lite in a pool (just to be safe) and had absolutely no issues. Very comfortable, very stable and will not have any issues/problems fishing from it. Well, none created by being in a float/pontoon...my casting, that's a whole other story.

Oooops, forgot to add: this store is going to cost me a LOT

It's close to work, easily accessible over a lunch hour...two visits and 600$ later, and I know I'll be going back- Greg W. also let me cast their TFO Signature 5wt rods- picked one up yesterday and went casting on the grass at lunch. Very nice rod, like how it's loads and feels. Different than my 4wt and 6wt Redington Wayfarer rods, but I'm going to have fun with it. Was thinking of the TiCr which was 40-50$ more, but didn't care for the feel of it.
My .02$ worth, your casting will vary!

Give the TFO Axiom a try if they get any in the store. It's a nice rod if you like a fast action.

Is it only fly fishing supplies?
