Dr. Foster and Smith warehouse and website closure.

[Livinlocal]

Petco just announced that they will be shutting down the Dr. Foster and Smith website. Petco bought out DFS not that long ago, and have now decided to close the doors to their facility, and lay-off 279 employees. This won’t effect live aquaria, but DFS will be gone in the next 120 days.


Maybe this is why Petco had that huge sale on Tropic marin salt? Maybe they are getting a jumpstart on clearing out the DFS facility.

So... I checked the DFS website. Pretty much everything on sale. From 40-75% off...
Some prices are better than others, but worth a look

Agreed.

It really is.
Nearly 300 people suddenly looking for a job in a town as small as Rhinelander wi.... no bueno. There aren't many jobs up there.

That being said, I sure hope I can still drive up there to get my DD orders ;)

(Bunch Of swear words) Petco! I’ll never be shopping there again. Buy an amazing company just to close it down a few years later. That really sucks. I hate them now.
