Big Als Closing Down

Bigals_brodie · #1 03-01-2006, 01:02 AM

Big Als Calgary is having a closing down sale.

For the past two years we have been locked in a legal dispute involving our landlord over our lease, we lost the case. Two years of very high legal bills have forced the owners to shut the doors forever. Big Als would like to thank all of the customers that have supported us over the years. The close out sale is effective today Feb 28 2005.
Everything is being liquidated including store fixtures, and equipment.

If anyone has any questions feel free to drop by the store.

Thank You

Brodie

Was just there.......sorry to hear about that kind of situation. 25% off EVERYTHING. Not too much SW livestock, couple anthias, etc. Good deal on tanks though!

Sad to hear Big Als Calgary is closing down.
As a matter of fact we (MarineFauna Inc., Philippines, www.marinefauna-cebu.com) have supplied them for more than 1 year. Two shipments (December 05 and January 06) to Big Als Calgary, Mr. Nate White, have not been paid yet despite several promises by Mr. White that funds have been wired already.
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.
Best regards,
Tom Heeger

Hello tom,

Please understand that it is way above and beyond me. I am a mere pawn in the game and have no control over any situation here and now. Please let me aplologize, on behalf of myself for not digging into the situation further, earlier on in its development.

Marine Fauna is a great supplier of invert and fish for us, and I am saddened by the factthgat my relationship with Thomas Heeger has to end this way.

Nate
