Anyone hear the news?

I read that and thought for a moment you were serious lol...

It's always a bummer to see small businesses go under, but hopefully it's for the best as far as the long term future of those involved. Sometimes it's just best to know when to say when and take on new endeavors.

So is there any kind of going out of business going on with them...I'm coming out there 2 weeks from today

 

[ReeferItIs2]

Going out of business sale*

 

[Reef Bass]

I will miss JoFish.

 

[gonzalez78]

Yeah they posted that most of their stuff will be going on sale

 

[zeroinverse]

I would love to buy their display tank. (Especially since I helped them transport it back up from LA way back when)

 

[gonzalez78]

Per their Facebook post everything in the store is 25% off excluding water

 

[Rarend99]

Anyone been by there and seen what they have left for sale?

 

[swk]

I was there on maybe Thursday and the corals were pretty picked over. There was still some nice stuff there. Quite a bit of dry goods still there as well

 

[Dragonvale]

Did they have any other display setups with overflows?

Ask them! That tank is awesome

 

[NeonFish]

bummer. I liked them better than the other stores in the area.

Just left there. They were taking the display tank down and said $650 for it. Pretty good deal for a lemar

Owning and running a small business is really challenging. The reason any business goes under is simply not enough revenue to cover expenses. It's very difficult in a retail environment ( I owned a restaurant) The slow days are the real killer. I would guess that store had an easy $500 a day in expenses and when you have too many days of revenue below that it's like a body blow. Even a few profitable days don't make up for a few unprofitable days.

It's really sad because the more like businesses you have in an area the more clientel developes for all like businesses. Most if not all small business owners don't understand this. I always refer to the shopping Mall concept,but most business owners want to be the only option and as you know the consumer wants multiple options.

That's a killer deal

They are also selling their frag tanks. I think they are 200g. Id love one to do a peninsula bar with.

Stopped by fish pros today and what did I see in their back room being put together? The display that Ron brought up from LA.

 

[woodnaquanut]

Yep. They also got the 4 part tank for FW plants from Jofish.

Yep. They also got the 4 part tank for FW plants from Jofish.

And that tank came from age of aquariums when they shut down.

That's funny. After the day I stood in front of jofish with closed doors I went to fishpros after. I told Jason about them closing and their display tank. He said he'd go down there to check out the display tank which he did LOL.
