Rowdy and Archie were two neighborhood dogs who famously did not get along. The shop named after them, at 3001 Sacramento Street on the corner of Broderick, is considerably more welcoming — a warm, well-stocked pet supply store that opened around 2024 to fill the gap left when Pet Food Express closed its nearby California Street location. Owner Khalid Moosa, who also runs Christa Wonderful Market in the same block, wanted a neighborhood pet shop where people could actually get what their animals need without a trip across town.
Rowdy & Archie carries premium food, toys, grooming supplies, and cozy beds for dogs and cats, with free product samples and local delivery. The staff know their stock well enough to help you navigate it. It has the feeling of a shop run by someone who cares about the neighborhood as much as the inventory — which, in this case, is literally true.
