Inside Look: ROVER PET STORES INC Prepares for Soft Opening at Volusia Mall

Excitement is building at Volusia Mall as ROVER PET STORES INC moves closer to its highly anticipated soft opening, scheduled for October 1, 2025. The store, which promises to be an all-in-one exotic pet stop shop, is already turning heads as fresh paint transforms its interior into a vibrant, animal-themed haven.

We were granted an exclusive behind-the-scenes look as the final touches were being applied to the walls—bright colors, playful murals, and habitat-inspired accents that reflect the store’s mission: to educate, inspire, and connect people with the fascinating world of exotic pets.

The owner of ROVER PET STORES INC shared their vision for the space, emphasizing that this isn’t just a retail store—it’s a destination. “We’re creating something special for Volusia County,” they said. “Our goal is to offer a place where families, pet enthusiasts, and curious minds can come together to learn, explore, and interact with animals in a safe and enriching environment.”

The store will feature a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, birds, and small mammals, all housed in carefully designed enclosures that prioritize animal welfare and educational value. In addition to pet supplies and accessories, ROVER PET STORES INC will offer interactive exhibits, live demonstrations, and informational sessions led by trained staff.

One of the standout features will be the store’s “Discovery Zone,” a hands-on area where children can observe and learn about different species through guided experiences. The store also plans to host weekend workshops and school field trips, making it a valuable resource for local educators and families.

As construction wraps up and the team prepares for opening day, mall-goers are already buzzing with anticipation. ROVER PET STORES INC is poised to become a cornerstone of Volusia Mall’s evolving retail landscape—bringing together commerce, education, and community in one dynamic space.

Stay tuned for more updates as the countdown to October 1 continues. ROVER PET STORES INC is ready to open its doors and welcome Volusia County to a whole new world of exotic pet exploration.
