Island Snow Hawaii Corporate Office

Island Snow Hawaii was founded in 1979 in KIailua, Oahu, by current CEO and owner James Kodama. Kodama envisioned a completely different store than the usual surf and sand shops. The company operates a small chain of clothing and shaved ice stores in Hawaii.

Snow is not something people think of when they come to Hawaii, but Kodama makes this thought process possible. “Snow”, in the company stores, means shaved ice. The stores sell both shaved ice and clothing advertising “Island Snow”. Clothing is made on the islands, as well as the shaved ice and flavors. The company sells men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, including long and short sleeved shirts, tank tops, shorts, and accessories, such as wallets and stickers for cars or surfboards.

Island Snow Hawaii has been frequented by President Barak Obama. There are currently two locations, one in Honolulu, the other in Kiailua, Hawaii.

Pet City Corporate Office

Pet City was founded in 1974 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The company operates a small chain of pet and pet supply stores in Colorado.

The company has three locations; one in the Chapel Hills Mall, one in the Citadel Mall, and one in the Aurora Town Center. The company sells pet foods, supplies, housing, and a variety of pets, including puppies, kittens, birds, and fish. All puppies and kittens are sold with a health guarantee, as well as being microchipped. A list of vaccinations and worming is provided.

In May of 2017, a man complained that he thought he had obtained financing through Wags Lending to purchase a puppy from Pet City. He later discovered that his $2,400 “loan” was actually just a lease with an option to buy. Pet City states that the terms of the lease were explained at the time of sale, however, Mr. Brian Stevens says this was not the case.
