Petland WDSM closed for good??

as I understand it, it is for good. They owe a butt load.

 

what happened exactly? i was hoping to visit when i came through town next week.

 

They closed their doors one day. I guess this economy caught up to them.

 

what is left to visit in des moines/ankeny/altoona area now?

 

thats crazy the petland in omaha i thought was always a cool store

 

Someone else actually started a thread today and asked the same question. Check that out, but the answer is Adams and Iowa Pet Food and Supply. Been there done that I'll bet. Still have frags if you want them.

 

jtesdall... pm me and let me know when ur free, i will be driving up mid day on tghe 8th for the Breaking Benjamin concert and coming home on the 9th.. and yea, i will make the usual rounds! Also get to visit my good friend Janna in Altoona that has the most amazing collections ive ever seen!

 

how very sad... i believe ours is doing well...

 

My understanding was a multitude of lawsuites because of their "puppy mill" pups for sale...

 

wasnt that ancient history... and was the issue specific to this location or the company as a whole?

 

I am simply going with what i recently (last month or so) heard on the news. Something like 6 dogs were very ill or sick that that specific location sold which was tracked back to bad breeders. They had issues before, they didn't fix them (apparently) and now they have tons of legal fees. Again, I do not personally know any of the workers, owners, managers, etc. so I am going with what was on the local news.

 

they also owed thousands of dollars in back rent
