Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia

Can businesses refuse to honor gift cards if it has switched ownership?

I went to a spa and they told me that they would not take my gift card (that doesn't expire until next year by the way) because it was sold under the old ownership and they had switched to new owners last year. They're is no policy on the gift card or on their website about this.
