Our History
In 1979, airline pilot Darrell Reber bought several acres with an old barn and farmhouse in Kent. His only intent at that time was to start a farm. Following a cattle herd misadventure, Darrell shifted his focus to horse boarding. With the help of his sons, he built the barn that would become the precursor to Reber Ranch. Several years later, the local racetrack Long Acres had insufficient off-season boarding facilities, and the Rebers erected several barns for their overflow horses. At their peak of horse boarding, Reber Ranch boarded 340 horses! In 1984, this venture spawned an official 800-meter horse track, training facilities, and stalls. The following year, the Rebers converted part of the barn into a store, beginning Reber Ranch.
Tragedy soon followed when a heater accident burned the shop. Unfazed, the Rebers rebuilt their store, and continued expanding to meet increasing consumer demand.
Reber Ranch is continuing to grow thanks to all of you! We love being part of our community and know that so many of you have grown up with us. The third generation of Rebers are now working at the store and continuing to keep Darrell’s dream alive.
More on Pet Central
Just like you, we love spending our time with our pets! That’s why Reber Ranch created a new pet supply store, Pet Central, which was specially designed for you to find what you need for your fur babies at a quick, easy, and convenient location.
When you visit Pet Central, you’ll continue to experience the same reasonably priced, high-quality, unique pet products backed by our renowned, sincere customer service.
And we want to give a special thanks to the people who made Pet Central possible. And those people are Y-O-U! That’s right. It was our loyal customers who have been a part of Reber Ranch for more than 35 years that encouraged us to consider opening up a store such as Pet Central. And we hope that our first location in Kent, WA will be the first of many more Pet Central stores to open in the Pacific Northwest.
So thank you for continuing our “paw-rific” journey with us. We hope you enjoy shopping at Pet Central just as much as we enjoy serving you and your pets.
