Andy's Pet Shop was known for exotic animals and customers who today are parents and grandparents recall seeing the monkeys and rare birds when they were children. As the legend goes, the store was named after their pet parrot, Andy, who was a Scarlett Macaw just like the neon sign. Established in 1950 —Andy's Pet Shop website
I miss having Andy's Pet Shop on The Alameda, but happy they could find a new location in downtown San Jose on Notre Dame Ave.
