Thank You and Goodbye

To Our Amazing Customers

If you would have asked us three years ago where we thought we would be today, our answer would not be "sitting here writing our customers a Thank You letter" because we were closing our doors for good. Then again, without our wonderful customers support, we would not have been able to become what we have in the last three years.

You have all stood by us through rumors on the blogs, to the changing of our labor, to the fence coming down. Because of your support and understanding, you helped us grow into one of the best retail stores around and allowed us to provide you with the two best things we can, amazing customer service and amazing product.

It is with heartfelt sadness, that today, we are writing to tell you goodbye. As of July 5th, Midwest Coral Farms is closing its retail doors for good. As some of you may or may not know, we have been operating a separate wholesale facility next to MCF and we have decided to keep our focus on that. We hope that we will continue to be able to serve you with our great product through a selection of your local fish stores.

On Thursday, July 5th, we will be open one last time from 9am to 5pm. We will have some amazing deals on fish, corals, inverts and dry goods. We will also be selling the fish out of the display tanks as well as the Wally, as long as we can catch them.

We know that this is a huge shock and we can't wait to see how this all turns out, especially on the blogs. We are grateful that our customers helped us get to where we are today. Without you we would have just been an ordinary LFS, instead we were extraordinary and in the next chapter of our business venture we are taking that same approach.

We will miss you all! Our paths will cross again one day, it will just be in the form of a special piece of coral at a LFS you have not visited for a while because you were loyal to MCF!

Last Day Of MCF
Thursday, July 5th,
9am - 5pm

wow......I will leave it at that, guess it's time to see if I can find an lfs that is convienent to get to for me and not overpriced....
 
WTF??? Anyone else feel like they've been used? Man I used to love going out there even though it's an hour from me. This is so disappointing.... :(

I thought this was an April fools until I looked at the calendar. :( :( :(
 
I guess I waited too long to "eventually" get up there. :-(

Bummer

But at least I'm less then 10 minutes from AquaPros!!!
 
They're still in business, they're just trying to edge into places like LA and others.

In the letter they say they are focusing on the wholesale side of things. They will exist as a company but you won't be able to buy directly from them anymore is my guess.
 
No way...I've heard too many good things about Reefwise, and I'm a huge Dave (Aquapros) fan. Sho Tank (IMO) is good for a periodic field trip.

I'm a huge fan of Sho Tank. Admittedly I live 20 minutes away from Sho Tank. I've always liked the prices and the service. The only place I liked better was Sharky's Reef back in 2007...
 
WOW!!! i am very sad! I drive down from kenosha weekly to see what they have new in stock! i almost always end up getting a new coral!

I was shocked when it showed up in my e-mail. I thought I had better share with everyone else so they don't miss out on any last minute sales.

Personally I think we all should boycott the sale as our collective thank you for the way they used us.
 
Wow.. that's pretty sh*tty that the last day they're open is a Thursday ..
