Holy c##p!!
Can't believe it! So many years as part of our community.
I'm really shocked...
Jody and staff... hope somehow this survives. Thank you so much for all you have done.
My thoughts are with you.

Can't believe it! So many years as part of our community.

So sad indeed.  I remember when there was only one location on St. Laurent Blvd.  They use to have that 1000 gallon tank with the caiman in it right at the entrance.

[Al]

sad news indeed.
good luck to all the staff, hopefully they can find a silver lining to this and capitalize on some new opportunities that will change their lives for the better.
Thanks for your dedication.

Hi everyone,
Yes the news is true, tomorrow will be the last day of Big Al's in Ottawa.
It is a sad day for all of us, staff and customers alike.
I would like to say thanks for the fun over the years, it has been a pleasure serving you.
Who knows what the future will bring...
So, lastly, if you know anyone hiring,  let me know!

Sorry to hear of your closing Big Als crew. Big thanks to Greg in Kanata for all the help over the years. Bought my first tank there about 9 years ago. Big Als will Always have a spot in my heart.

[zenins]

Really ?

Both locations ? Kanata and Innes ?

[Shawn84]

Damm didn't know. Still have a few gift card but I cant come in tomorrow 

[Jody]

Yes, both locations are closing.


Gift cards aren't such a big deal. They will work at the Toronto stores if you make it down, or possibly online even. If they don't normally take them online, just keep complaining to them and they will capitulate.

Wow, Last month a big fish store in Montreal now Big al in Ottawa.

[JetJumper]

Someone just posted this on a facebook page I follow:


"Big als east is no longer closing. I'm in The store now there are no longer franchised!!"

[lucius]

Wow great news.    I'm very happy for the staff.

[Jody]

Both stores will be open for business as usual.
