Pets.com Fires Most Employees and Says It Will Close OperationsSan Francisco, Nov. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Pets.com Inc., an Internet retailer of pet food and supplies, said it fired most of its workers and will close after failing to find a buyer. The company, whose shares have dropped more than 93 percent since its initial public offering in February, cut 255 jobs, or about 80 percent of its 320-person workforce. Pets.com didn't specify when it would close its Web site in a press release issued by Business Wire. Pets.com, known for its advertisements with a sock-puppet dog, said fewer than 8 of the more than 50 companies contacted to either provide cash or buy the company were prepared to visit it. Pets.com had hired Merrill Lynch & Co. to help it explore options. Spokesman John Cummings didn't immediately return a call for comment. Shares of San Francisco-based Pets.com rose 6 cents to 72 cents before trading of the stock was halted in the early afternoon. --Courtney Schlisserman in the Princeton newsroom (609) 279-4135 or cschlisserma@bloomberg.net/cod
