One of my local LFS's went bankrupt and sold all three locations. Sucks for them but it was stupid on their part (They put all their nuts in one bag to finance a "warehouse sized pet store" and the financers backed out. So their nuts got eaten from the one bag.

Anyways today they had a 50 percent off sale. I cleaned house with my credit card. I got an Orbit 4 *65watt fixture, One corallife Superskimmer (220 gal) One Superskimmer (125Gal) a heater, 5 bags of salt, and some frozen food. All half off. total savings....something like 400 dollars.

It sucks to see them go under but it leaves one remaining LFS in Jacksonville/ Orange Park, Robs Reef. my friend works there and he said now they cant even keep any fish in stock due to the demand.

The main reason I have little sympathy for the business is they failed to honor any outstanding gift certificates. Thats just horrible business ethics. Plus anyone thats had an accounting class knows the gift certificates go into the books as a liability because they MUST BE REPAID if services are not performed.

When did you ever see any company honor warranties or gift certificates after it filed bankruptcy? They just lost millions and are done with this business. I doubt they care what you think of their ethics. Their creditors likely wont get paid back. I doubt they will pay back you for your gift certificate. Heck the employees will be lucky to get their final paycheck as it is.

On another note. Congratulations on the big savings you just came across. :)
