Hey guys,

Just wanted to hit the thread and say hello. Wanted to mention to everyone that for the most part, the employees at Big Als are moving on to different things and it looks like everyone is going to be alright. Only time will tell I guess.

As for teh store being open for thirty days (will), not sure, its day to day, actually, the owners slept in the store last nite as the locks were changed abruptly at 12 am. Only reason we were open today is b/c of them.

As for me, I am really not sure, who knows where I will end up? Anyone looking for someone to work that is just finishing up an Small Business and Entrepreneurship degree? (shameless plug). Like I said earlier in the post, only time will tell.

Anyways, my heart goes out to the owners, their families and the employees of big als, and thanks to everyone for the kind comments over the years. Sad to see her go after working there for 8 years (since I was 14). MAn is my resume brief (haha)

Anyways, thanks.

I'm amazed that this sale is happening at all.(Seeing that this not your ordinary close out, but rather the result of a judicial matter.)

By the sounds of it, things got very ugly.

I would have thought that a reciever would have been involved by this point.

Good thing that BA's didn't have the power and gas set up throught the landlord like some buisnesses in strip malls do.(Would have been one dark and cold sale.)

Hope all of you find decent employment right away.

Nate.........I sent you a PM.

Man they had some nice tank sets on for 50% off on Tuesday when I was there. When I went back they were only 25% off. Oh well

[danny zubot]

Well, I took advantage of the sale going on right now, to pick up some extra suppliments and a book. I've lived up the street for several years and will be sad to see BA's go. No more browsing when I'm bored, the next closest SW LFS to me is Gold's! If anyone is about to start up a SW LFS in Calgary please do it in the south.

Question: how do I go about redeaming(sp) my BA points?

[digital-audiophile]

As far as I know you can still use your BA points online which is good.. I think I have a couple hundred dollars worth of free stuff I spent a lot of dough at BA's.

Edit - PS... My GF has wanted to open a fish store in the south for a while.. kinda like a golds idea.. but in willow park village otr something. It's something that is really lacking in the south end of town.

Went there last night and scored huge on equipment to start my new tank. Stand, lights, pump, food, etc. Thanks to all the employees who were still very helpful, and good luck in the future.
