Amazon Pet is closing next month

[Elite]

Saw a thread on RC. Pretty sad.. I like Ken's store.. I think he carries more zoa than any stores around here.

I see him in Max's store all the time, so maybe it's more of a "move" than "close"

 

[Elite]

Yeah I see him at AS too. Are they related? ;D

 

[LordHelmet]

i think just friends. i liked kens store too but honestly couldn't understand how he was in business so long.

 

[Elite]

Why? Price too high??

 

[LordHelmet]

prices always seemed a bit high and i never really saw anything going out. i could be wrong though.

 

[Elite]

I think the price high or low is depending on his day. I bought some stuff there for a pretty good price. Some of the stuff he just asks too much.

 

[zepplock]

Yeah that was a good store. Not A LOT of corals but nice selection and reasonable price.

 

[bigballinreefer]

i heard he might go back and work with max....iono just a rumor

 

[GreshamH]

He's been doing cabinet work at Max's shop (his own cabinet). As far as him working there you'd have to ask him directly

I used to go there all the time! Was one of my favorite stores, was also the closest, lol! Before I got into reefing i used to get a lot of cool stuff from there! But the last few years the store has gone way down hill! Seemed like it was a bodega, lol! hardly anything in there! Nothing cool to look at! Remember back in the day in the main predator display you could feed them goldfish for .50 cents!!! I wish Ken all the best!

I spoke to Ken on several occasions and he said he's going back to school and may work for max to support himself during that time. He's really a nice guy and probably the hardest working mofo in the business, that I know of. The guy does everything himself...from running the store, servicing, admin, and building his own cabinetry and etc all the the while putting his sister to school. I could never do what he did for 20 years. I'll be drop dead by now.
