Edgewater, FL — October 21, 2025 Rover Pet Stores Inc., a fast-growing name in the pet retail industry, is making bold moves in Central Florida. As the company prepares to unveil its flagship store at Volusia Mall on Black Friday 2025, founder and CEO Dr. Kerry Lewis has announced plans for a second location in Edgewater, Florida — one that will serve not only as a retail outlet but also as the company’s new headquarters.
The Volusia Mall store, slated to open November 28, promises to be a major draw for pet lovers across the region. Featuring a wide array of pet supplies, grooming services, and adoption partnerships, the store is expected to kick off the holiday shopping season with a splash.
But Dr. Lewis is already looking ahead. “Edgewater is a community we’re passionate about,” he said in a recent interview. “We see potential there — not just for retail, but for building our company’s foundation.”
The decision to establish a headquarters in Edgewater comes with its own set of challenges. Dr. Lewis acknowledged that navigating the city’s business approval process may be difficult. “Edgewater has a reputation for being selective. They pick and choose which businesses they want to support,” he noted. “But we’re ready to engage with city leaders and show them what Rover Pet Stores can bring to the table.”
The proposed Edgewater location would serve as the operational hub for the company, housing executive offices, logistics coordination, and strategic planning functions. It would also feature an expanded retail footprint, including training spaces for pet owners and community outreach programs.
Dr. Lewis emphasized that Rover Pet Stores Inc. is committed to being more than just a business — it aims to be a community partner. “We’re not just opening a store,” he said. “We’re planting roots. We want to be part of Edgewater’s growth story.”
With pet ownership continuing to rise and consumer demand for high-quality pet care products and services surging, Rover Pet Stores Inc. is positioning itself as a key player in Florida’s retail landscape. The Edgewater headquarters could mark a transformative chapter for both the company and the city — if the vision becomes reality.
