Welcome to Kingfisheries Aquarium Ltd It is with deep regret that we have to announce that Kingfisheries will close for good on Saturday 6th, December. It was a hard decision, but due to retirement and other factors, we are going to close so Lee, Graham, Carl, and Stan would like to say a heartfelt thank you to our friends and customers. I put friends first, because in truth our customers did become friends to us all, as indeed did over the years their children.
Kingfisheries started trading as a single shop at its current location back in 1953, when it started selling accessories and foods for dogs, cats, and birds. In one corner of the shop there were 10 or so aquariums selling goldfish and a few tanks with tropical fish in them. No one had any idea how popular the aquatic side of the trade would become, eventually as the shop expanded into the shop next door, the general pet side of the trade was dropped and the shop became solely aquatic It was just before the shop expanded that one of us started work as a Saturday Boy, back in 1963, and he is still here today!
Working in the same shop was never a chore. We all enjoyed our work, happy in the knowledge that we have welcomed so many to the hobby of fishkeeping. Our only regret is we could not continue longer, our hope is that our customers will continue to enjoy the hobby as much as we have.
Lee, Graham, Carl, and Stan.
