A fish and reptile store in Bay Shore, New York, was forced to close its doors Sunday after its power was shut off due to unpaid electric bills. The owner, Anthony Lucchini, claims the store has struggled to make payments for months despite making several attempts to catch up. PSEG Long Island confirmed the termination of service, stating that they had communicated with the store multiple times regarding the past due amounts.
