PET CO going out of business?

[Thunder Kat]

My uncle works for a graphic design company (they make signs, bumper stickers, those support ribbon magnets, etc...). And he told me today that they were printing signs for PETCO's going out of business sales, they're being shipped all over the country. Has any one else heard about this?

If you feed f/t you can get quality feeders on line, or Google small pet store nearest you. I'm glad because of obvious reasons as for feeders I only go to small (well cared for) pet stores or herp and supply stores; which I highly recommend for high quality (gut loaded) cheap feeders.

Wow that kinda sucks..... but I guess I chose a good employer. PetSmart! lol

I wonder if its true though?

I highly doubt it. They are a multi million dollar business.

We have a rather good/clean Petco near us, I would be sad if they went out of business. Ours keep the animals in good shape. Plenty of hide, fake plants, water. We were even there once at feeding time. They took the snakes to the back of course, but put out fresh food for the few baby iguanas they had and some fresh food for the tortoises.

If Petco, one of the largest pet store chains in the US were going out of business, it would be on the news. I can understand maybe some locations are not doing well and closing those locations, but not the entire company without some news story about it.

That's the first thing I thought so I figured I'd ask if any one else has heard any thing.
