There is a large pet shop a few blocks from my home that is going out of business today.
I feel bad whenever any business goes out and the 10 or so people there of course will have no jobs.
I went there just now and filled up every space in my tank with corals that are about 75% reduced. I really don't have room for all of this stuff so it looks like re-aquascaping is in my near future.
I also bought some anemone crabs for $3.00 and some zebrafish.
I went to this store almost every day because I buy live worms and brine shrimp eggs along with frozen food.
Tomorrow I will go back and stock up on food.
It is great for me in the short term but I hate to see the place go. Their rent is over $30,000 a month and there is hardly any business anymore.
Hobby type stores always go first, if you don't have money to feed your family, you are not going to put down $100.00 for a coral or even $2.00 for worms.
It is a sign of the times and coincidentally, the electrical contractor I worked for before I retired went out of business today also.
If I had not retired when I did, I would be out of work for at least 58 weeks which is the waiting time for a construction electrician job now
