About Us

Dave's Soda & Pet City had its modest beginnings in the bay of an empty gas station. Dave Ratner, Owner and CIO (Chief Instigating Officer), recalls, "I started the soda company, Dave's Soda City, in 1975. About three years later, I was in a supermarket, and noticed that they had more pet food than soda. I thought, Hey, what a great idea for a store." Today, Dave's has grown into a mini chain of 4 superstores with more than 65 employees.
