😀Big news: The Bug Shed is changing hands!

Starting this Saturday, a new chapter will begin for The Bug Shed as our business gets new ownership and moves to its new home in the Keystone State of Pennsylvania.

Selling a business and moving on to the next chapter in our lives is a bittersweet moment. Words can't express how grateful we are to our wonderful customers for supporting us so well and so loyally for the past 3 1/2 years.💚🙏💚

Thank You So Very, VERY Much for Your Business Over the Years!

Thanks to your patronage, we were able to keep food on the table and a solid roof over our heads during a critical transition period in our lives.

For those who are interested, we've written a whole blog about why we started the business and why we're making this change, which you can read here: https://www.thebugshed.com/dubia-roach-company-bug-shed-new-ownership/

But for now, we'd like to reassure you that we are 100% confident in the new owners' ability to not only live up to The Bug Shed legacy, but grow it into something even better!

Watch for a welcome video from them (and details about the transition) soon!

A new chapter begins for this dubia roach company! Learn how new ownership will be a VERY good thing for The Bug Shed customers.
