We are known for our quality because we have our fisher folk net catch the animals according to order only, operate a flow through system and use at no time chemicals. We paid all in advance including high compensation of the fish folk, freight as well as packing charges and Calgary Big Als refused to pay so far.
Please bear in mind when you purchase in the "special sale" that the animals have not been paid and Big Als Calgary is taking sole advantage of that.

It is too bad that bankruptcies end this way. I guess that is the risk of doing business. Hopefully, the franchise will cover these expenses, that is usually one of the benefits of having a franchise (buying power for the individual stores and security for the suppliers).
Anyhow, BAs was only a couple of minutes away and all though not my favorite store in town, they did have nice, friendly staff, whom were always quick to lend a hand. For that, thank you and best wishes for everyone in their future engagements.

ps. Nate are you graduating this spring or do you still have a Directed Field Studies to do?
