Change of Hands

[hiepatitis]

It seems like a lot of LFS have changed hands lately with new owners. The ones I know of are Neptune, Lucky Goldfish (SJ), Blue Lagoon, & Sun Aquarium. I'm curious to see the stores under the new owners. Anyone been to these stores lately?

I was at Sun Aquarium (now Blue Ocean) a week ago. I was really surprised when people said they're prices have actually gone up. I don't remember ever seeing Helfrichi's for $85.

I was told the place was super dirty before, and that Tec (new owner) had really cleaned it up. Looks like he's remodeling it, too.

I stopped by Lucky Goldfish while I was in that area and they put up a wall with a new section. Jimmy, one of the main workers there (super cool dude), said that the owner sold it to this new guy and that he turned that new section into a recording studio.
