Pet Habitat Brentwood close out sale

[Roberto Luongo]

The Brentwood location joins Tinseltown and Lynn Valley's fate. All fish and equipment, small animals etc 50- 80 percent off

[smash]

Anything left there or has this been going on for a while now? I might head down there tomorrow if they still got stock left.

Does the 50-80% off include plants as well?

Used to work for Pet Habitat back in the 80s. Yes, puppy mill pups. We tried to convince the owners to buy from local breeders but the low prices (with crappy health) was too tempting. I was in charge of their fish sections at the Richmond Centre, Lougheed Mall & Champlain Mall back in the day. Haven't shopped there since I quit.

Everything's on sale, the rent is crazy in malls. The only locations that do well are Metrotown and Richmond. My favorite is Roberto's pet Habitat Coquitlam,great store way better than any mall store or box store. It's going to be weird not seeing the store anymore,I grew up shopping at the location and then found Big ALS, Hastings Aquarium, Aqua world,Mikes pet boutique and King Eds. The good old days a sad day losing another fish store.

Are there still lots of stuff? Is it worth the visit?

Very sad to hear this, mall stores are essential for peaking interest in the aquarium trade.

Sad to hear of another mall store closing. When I was a kid I used to LOVE going past the pet stores!

Anthony: Did you work at the Richmond Centre Pet Habitat back in the day when they were at the middle of the mall? I used to LOVE all of the funky acrylic tanks that had the tube/tunnels connecting two sections.

very sad ... LFSs are dying off ... does not bode well for the hobby in BC if a simple pet store struggles to stay open in a high-traffic mall
