Pike Family Nurseries on the auction block

After 50 years in business, Georgia-based Pike Family Nurseries will auction off all its assets tomorrow (Feb. 26, 2008), The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in a series of articles over the weekend.

Pike filed bankruptcy in November of 2007, citing the regional drought, but has kept operating since then. Five unnamed companies are participating in today’s private auction, AJC said. Pike is the area’s largest garden chain, with close to 20 retail stores and a wholesale division.
