Local Pet Store Closed

[ponto]

A pet supply store in the wal-mart shopping center has closed it's doors.

Does anyone know why?

I was there the day before they closed. It was odd, I walked in and there were no birds, no ferrets, no bunnies, no fish. I jokingly said, well business sure is booming here! And the manager informed ,me that they were closing their doors here in Maysville the next day! Boy, was I shocked!! He then told me that all the animals had been shipped to other store locations around the state. When I asked why they were closing, he simply said that sales were not high enough, and head quarters shut them down.
I want to know how in the world they got out of a 12 month lease.
It is hard enough to get in one of those stores, much less cancel the lease before it is up.
I hope a John Deere store comes to town soon, cause who else would rent a store painted in yellow and green? (he he he)

I would say that they would probably still have to pay for the rest of their lease. Look at Wal-Mart, they still have a lease on the old building.

i wonder why they didn't notify the public that they were shutting down. They had enough time if they had time to ship the animals off. At least a little notice would have been nice.

Heck they didn't even have any kind of Clearance sale!! ;-(

...................if you don't make any money, you don't stay. I'd say the lease rates out there are way too high for them to survive..........see ya mark

i called the day the store was closing and a representative told me that they was closing on account they didnt have enough business. i dont know if that is true or not but thats what i was told.:confused:
