Serving the page with a status of 503 Service Unavailable is an interesting touch.

  Doing this is pretty critical for SEO in a situation like this, and these businesses tend to live and die by search traffic.

    That's a great point I hadn't considered. I guess they are redirecting all pages to this announcement and, by using a 503, the search results will not be impacted.

      Even so, maybe a temporary redirect, i.e. 307, would be better maybe?
