A growing pet grooming chain has reached a new milestone as it continues its expansion.
Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming has opened its 300th location with a new store in Middleton, Fla., part of the growing The Villages community just outside Orlando. It is the third Woof Gang location opened by longtime franchise partners Beth and Woody Whitcomb.
Founded in 2007, Woof Gang told Chain Store Age that its goal is to scale to more than 450 locations across North America by 2027. In the past two years, the brand has entered into major new markets including California and Illinois, in addition to making its debut in Canada.
In addition to offering a “personalised, salon-style experience” for dogs, Woof Gang sells exclusive gourmet treats, premium pet food and curated supplies.
“The opening of our 300th location is a major moment, not just for our brand, but for what it represents,” said Ricardo Azevedo, CEO of Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming. “The Whitcombs have helped shape who we are, and how we show up for pets and people. Their passion and leadership continue to influence how we support our franchisees, connect with communities and grow with purpose.”
