I'm not sure if it has been said yet but apparently petco has decided to shut down fosters and smith... Good job petco, buy your enemy then shut them down. Live aquaria will remain open however.

That’s the nature of the business. Terrible to see.

I think their business model of sending 150 dollars worth of catologs for every 8 dollar purchase drove them out!

I thought just the Wisconsin store was closing? Or is that really the only store? I just order glass tops from them every time I get a tank.

I used to look forward to receiving their catalogs in the mail- before the internet.
Shame they are getting shut down.

Watch saltwater forums, they’ll be the first ones to tell I bet since they get their salt in bulk from there so they’ll want to make the most of it and help their friends by telling them it’s on.
