Dave's opens in Ludlow

Date: 4/24/2013

LUDLOW – Thanks to our employees' hard work and customer support, Dave's Soda is proud to announce that it has opened a seventh and newest location in Ludlow.

Dave's Soda & Pet City had its modest beginnings in the bay of an empty gas station.

Dave Ratner, owner, recalled, "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 seven superstores with more than 100 employees. Serving customers and their babies (pets) in the community for nearly 40 years.

This location does not carry soda and is called Dave's Pet City. It may be smaller than some of the stores, but at this location shoppers will find the widest array of supplies and treats for their favorite pets, aquariums and even fish.

This store will also have Dave's famous Do It Yourself dog washtubs for our customers to use.
