Big AL's is gone?
 

Is this true? No more Big Al's in Calgary? Or is it just moving to a new location?

Gone unless someone else decides to startup a new store.

From what I gather they are bankrupt, so gone forever.

The owners went bankrupt not Big Al's. The franchise is still for sale.

Very interesting... thanks for letting me know. Not that I really went to the BA's in Calgary but I wondered if it will be a continual thing with this company and the B.A's in Edmonton will shut down. That would be sad, since we really have no stores (only BA & AI) as it is, here in Edmonton.

Hmm..

Guess I better move to Calgary then. :lol:

In Edmonton take a look at Natures Corner Store (91St/51Ave)

Starting up, relocation whatever but they have SW. Stock seems in good shape.

Of course. That is what I meant to say. I realise BA the chain is still going.:mrgreen:

I have never heard of this store before.. I can't even find a listing for them.

Is it just SW or is it a complete pet store kinda thing

:multi::multi::multi:

Mostly fresh (and lots of plants), some salt plus feeders and seed for wild birds.

When I was there last week probably 10+ species of SWF, clams, anemones, soft corals, LPS. Didn't see anything exotic nor huge quantity but a nice, varied selection.

Prices good, a green open brain was going for about $20 cheaper, cleaner shrimp ~$10 less than the other stores you mentioned in Edm.
