After 36 years in business, Animal Kingdom is closing its doors. To facilitate closing, the store is holding a store closing sale.
No reason for its closure was given. However, Animal Kingdom has received recent poor publicity revolving alleged wrongdoing and fraud. Despite this, investigations into these complaints have not yielded in any further action.
Certainly, the openings of national petchains PetSmart and Petco in recent years likely didn’t help.
The store will remain open until Christmas. Animal Kingdom was the last remaining local pet store that sold puppies on-site.
