creekbottom Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Is the store still going? The number from the website doesn't work, and the FB page now lacks any kind of store-ish content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beverly Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I stopped by the store late last week and looked in the front window. Sadly, it's bare. What a shame. Gillian and Henry will be much missed : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blink Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Henry was selling off some tanks a few weeks ago and said he was planning to get rid of one row of tanks but I guess they just threw in the towel. It's a shame as they used to be my favorite, now we've just got a few freshwater stores left and none of them are really any good. Big Al's has been improving lately and I hope they keep it up because Calgary is too far just to go do some shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I started another thread about this before I found this one. I'm saddened by the loss of Nature's Corner, but the writing was on the wall. henry had mentioned to me many times that he wanted out of the fish business and that his pond business was where he was going to concentrate. I guess it is going to be Big Al's and local breeders from this point on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yeah I went by last week looking for some plants. A empty store. Too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Henry is one of the smartest fish nerds around. Too bad he won't be as accessable. I would think he is going to concentrate on ponds and water recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duh duh duh Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 what? This is terrible news. Has it been confirmed they are done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blink Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Store is empty n Facebook page is gone. They look to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duh duh duh Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I agree. I drove by myself and the only thing left is the sign. Everything inside is back to the walls essentially. Is it odd to anyone else that this happened so quickly and without notice? I think a lot of us would have stopped by to pass along our appreciation (and buy some more fish) had we known.

jvision Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Word is the supliers promised him exlusivity then sold out the the big box stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duh duh duh Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 that's brutal news. I bought fish from there since it was Dads Fish Room off of whyte ave (I was there around 2003). I always admired that they were prepared to let a sale walk out the door because they wouldn't sell a fish that wasn't properly quarantined. I also liked that they were friendly to my young children and the questions that they would ask. It helps bring the kids along in the hobby.

EowynJane Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Aw My favorite store. I haven't been there in a while but Henry was telling me a few months ago that he was getting out of the fish business. I guess I just thought he would let us know when he shut down.
