FYI, Byerley's in C-bus closing

[verper]

Not sure if anyone here frequents Byerleys in Columbus, but they are out of business as of Wednesday night - 3/21.  I guess their move to the new place (along with Phishy Business opening) didn't help.

Too bad....one of the best LFS in Columbus. They always had the best selection of freshwater live plants and the giant clam reef was cool as well. I never made it to the new location, just recall two different locations in Grandview Hts.

That's very sad to hear, Byerley's used to be the coolest shop around. I use to drive up to Columbus regularly to buy fish from them many years ago. It has changed ownership a couple times over the years and quickly went down hill from what I have heard.

Might be worth the drive to see what they have left.

With that kind of sale, it looks like they have been hit hard already:
