House of Tropicals

It's been several years since I've shopped at House of Tropicals, what happened? It's only a shell of what it used to be. I can best describe it as "a bomb went off in there" and what you see when entering the store is what survived the blast!

Never been that but you described it well I have a good idea now of what it looks like.

I believe they've tried to sell the entire business at one time not too long ago. I think it was around 6 months ago or so and they had it up on Ebay if I remember correctly.

yup, I have been told they are closing down and everything is (or will be) for sale including tanks & fixtures.

Very sad, it was an awesome place 10 years ago.

I tried to go down there once last summer and just could not find it.  I couldn't even find a similar address.
