Petland Discounts has quietly closed their doors forever. An employee that I know told me the owner passed away a couple of weeks ago and the family sold the business. Yesterday was their last day of operations.
 
Wow that was a good run,where was this place at?
 
At one point hey had like 70 locations in tristate area....largest privately owned chain of pet stores in US....
Wow then that is a blow to the hobby.
 
Sad to hear that, they were the only nearby (walk or bike distance) pet stores in Hudson county where I last lived in NJ. Interesting shops, kind of like a discount Petco. They got some cool fish in sometimes too.
 
Wow. I worked at a petland when i was a kid and had one around the corner from me as an adult, took my kids there allot. Definitely better than the chains. They actually carried fish that were interesting
 
A manager told me his kids want nothing to do with the store and there are no buyers because they are in debt
