Concept shutting down?!?!
 

Dave told me today that he is closing down by the end of July :O :O :O :O :O That's just not right!!!!!!!!! :cry:

That will be a sad day if it is true. I hope it's not the tank business too.

no way, I haven't get a chance to order a tank from concept yet.

I'm sure there's more to this, just need to wait and see!

Don't tell me this

Yup, closing! Get ur stuff while you can.

The concept is to be bigger and better. Thats all I'll say...

True or not if it is true I'm sure it will be announced properly by Dave in thier section when they decide to... Sometimes when ppl are having a bad day they say things they don't mean... If you knew how many times I've wanted to shut down my business... If this is the case there must be a good reason for it and its best to wait for an official announcement and not put ppl Into panic

Just my thoughts

Don't worry folks it's all going to be ok I suspect :)

That's what Dave said to me today while I was at Concept!

Bahahah... Dave, you big prankster, you.

Shssssh!

I heard the same thing about a week ago. Only the version I heard had more to it, and the story had a happy ending. ;-)

Your info is totally way off and incorrect, I have it on good authority that Concepts is not shutting down.


Stay clear..... this Bear bites off limbs!!

That's what I thought. Denny or Dave will tell us in there time

Concept is not shutting down in fact were growing fast but a major change is about to go down ;)

Any ideas what that is?

Ill let the suspense ride for a bit longer:)

Finally ;)

Bigger shop???

Or how about moving to BC? All the great stores are in BC after all ;)

Concept is moving into sphelps's basement so that he doesn't have to drive as far?

winner :biggrin:

update for concepts
 

I guess i should clarify what is happening with concepts



Concept aquatics inc was our retail side of the business and this side will be closing as of july 1 2013:redface:

Concept aquariums ltd was and still is our manufacturing side and will continue to operate as is with no changes:biggrin:


ok as some of our value customers may or may not know, i also own and operate another business that takes up a lot of my time. I was fortunately enough able to bring Denny on board to help run that part of the business but this also left me losing touch with what happening over at the other building. With how much Concept had grown over the last year but not knowing if it was make money is a hard way to run a business lol:redface:


so decision time! too shut Concepts down or jump head first and turn Concepts into a store that can give any store in calgary a run for the money:lol:

since i started Concepts to **** someone off, i might as will try to do something good with it now lol


so as of friday last week all the t's and i's have been crossed on a new building that will allow me to amalgamate both of my companies into one building. Now the fun will start:lol: 6500 square feet of space to play with and come up with a cool place to hang out lol. We get the key on july 1 and will have two months to build and setup the new store front.

stay tune as we release the store plans in the next week or so and ask for ideas that will help see flaws in our setup that we have over looked!

so as of july 1 everything will only be concepts aquariums, so no more concept aquatics lol, yes this is point at you Kein lol stop making fun of my name change! and www.conceptaquariums.ca will be up and running. Ruth will be the person in charge and her info will be posted up at a later date.



Thanks Dave

So people can't blame me. I was right ;) The naming game confuses me sometimes so I kept the first word only :razz:

Okay I blame the acorn that hit you in the head... :biggrin:

That's much better :D Nature's to blame :P Or perhaps those squirrels! :razz:

Wow, exciting times. I don't envy you guys the amount of work you have ahead of you, but this sounds like a good move. 6500 sq ft, can't wait to see that!

Have to admit, I'm scared to find out where this location will be though. Please oh please oh please not further north... (Imma not holding my breath though)

Hint: as far as I know, its going to be very far away from the current location ;)

I'm just going to make the blanket assumption right now that I'm screwed. :lol:

Sorry guys its coming to Edmonton :)

:lol:

Now that sounds like a great idea :mrgreen: I'll even offer Doug up to run it :wink:

I know but won't spool it for every one.

More stock of items that you are carting and a working website :biggrin:


Stay clear..... this Bear bites off limbs!!

I've also heard through the vine that Concept might be acquiring a very large order of LE zoas shortly, keep an eye out these wont be anything ordinary.

And due to the presence of zoa-heads like you, it might not even see water of Concept's tank for long ;)

maybe they're from him?

ooooh the non knowing is killing me teehee!

Save yourself or you might be regretting ;)

;) Lets just say I've decided to take my tank in a different direction.

Doomsday approaching?!

The LPS show off thread might of got to me :\.

Yap! Dooms day is coming!
