Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming Signs Agreement for 250th Location, Marking Major Milestone for Global Pet Franchise Brand

Pioneer in the industry has achieved significant growth this year, with international and national expansion

Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, the leading pet service franchise brand in the United States, is thrilled to announce that it has inked its 250th store agreement in the United States. The first quarter of 2023 was monumental for the brand, kicking off the year with international expansion to Canada and signing its first agreement in California in February. The 250th franchise agreement was signed for two stores located in Cumming and Buford.

Across the state of Georgia, Woof Gang currently has 10 stores open and in business and 10 stores under development. In the Atlanta market, two of these stores are open and eight stores are under development. This milestone represents another step in growing the brand’s footprint across the country and in Georgia, with its most recent opening in the Atlanta Beltline and seven new locations slated to open every other month throughout 2023.

“To hit 250 signed franchise agreements marks a monumental moment for Woof Gang,” said Ricardo Azevedo, Chief Executive Officer of Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming. “The accelerated growth Woof Gang has seen in the past few months truly serves as a testament to the passion our franchisees have to serve their communities. It is incredible to be able to provide the opportunity for pet lovers to turn their passion for pets into a profitable business.”

This year marks the second year in a row that the top-tier pet franchise brand has achieved record growth. In 2022, Woof Gang opened 25 locations across the U.S. to meet the increasing demand for pet services. Straying away from the traditional one-size-fits-all big box pet stores, Woof Gang prides itself on being the “neighborhood pet store” in all of its communities. The brand keeps its spaces smaller, more intimate, and staffed with pet lovers with expertise.

Operating as a dual concept business model, average store sales for a Woof Gang location exceed $700,000 per year. With a mid-point investment cost of $287,800, franchisees yield a high return on investment, with sales about 2.5x times higher than their initial investment. With offerings such as luxury spa services, gourmet nutrition and treats, and accessories and toys for pets, Woof Gang draws in customers with its wide variety of options in a friendly and fun-loving environment.

Woof Gang & Grooming continues to grow and is always looking for entrepreneurs who are passionate about their pets and serving their community to join their pack! If you’re interested in opening a franchise, visit https://franchise.woofgangbakery.com/ to learn more.
