A decision I need some input on.

So. Here's my predicament. I am a groomer, working for PetCo. I love my job.
My problem is, is that the manager of the store I've been working at the past 3 years is being transferred to another store. This is a problem for me because her replacement is known to be a real hard-ass. A PetCo about 4 miles away though really really wants me to work for them. I love the management and all of the groomers over there, but it's farther.
I now have to weigh the goods and bads.
Store one is closer, I enjoy the associates who are all my friends, I am close with 2 of the groomers, and I make a decent mount of money.
Store two is a larger shop, better equipped, I enjoy the management and fellow groomers, I would make a little more money.
Store one is under new management which means more stress for all, I don't always agree with how the groomers treat the dogs when no one is around, sometimes the girls make fun of me (in jest but a girl can only take so much).
Store two is farther away, I don't know any of the associates, in a not so great part of town (after dark), I would have to readjust to how they do things, I would loose most of my clientele and request customers.
So please, tell me what you would do in this situation. I'm sure many of you have been through something similar. I am sooo bad with decisions!!

Plus I don't want you in a bad part of town! :(
As a Bather, I'll bet you've built up a number of clientel and a steady customer base.
They may NOT follow you to the new store... and sometimes dog owners might be reluctant to try someone new
eep!! i feel kinda bad. i remember when my friend got a hardass manager replacement.. and the oldmanager was a sweet heart. this thing about his hard ass manager is.. she was a literal pissed off old bag.. all the time.. there was no reasoning with her.. at all.. good thing they had mind to tell her off a few.
the girls making fun of you..? who cares.. they'll get theres. i know that sounds bad. but.. karma man.
it's a strong thing sometimes i think it's an angel of God sent down to make sure people are learning their lessons.
or gods hand itself.
also.. you could lose clients or get new ones.
but it is further away.. how about.. don't move to the other store just yet.. start checking it out in secreat i guess when you have free time. check the employees there while your still working at the current location.
i'm sure you'll find out that way.
you're great *hugg**
