We had one open here in Grand Rapids. Bissell the sweeper people have a huge corporate office here and they are so very into dogs. They sponsor several events and things that Hemi and I go to here and provide all kinds of charity for dogs. They used their full corporate might, got the mall to kick the store out, and the better business bureau to revoke their license, but the day before they went in and bought all the dogs but sending in secret shoppers to just buy the dogs and worked with local trainers and shelters to help rehab and home them all. They then also sued the former owner to get their money back as well, essentially bankrupting him. He tried getting a go fund me page to help pay for his legal bills and the suit cost and to open a new store elsewhere. He got like a grand total of $200.
In a way it was sad because you know it put a lot of people out of a job that just got jobs as the store was only open 3 days before being shut down. But again it kind of sent a strong message.
