A major pet care franchise has opened its first location in Idaho.
Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming has set up shop in Boise. This is the fifth new state the company has entered this year. Founded in Miami in 2007, Woof Gang says it has more than 400 locations open or under development in the United States.
The company said it plans to open new locations in two more states by the end of the year.
“We are excited to be opening our first-ever store in Idaho with our Carriage Crossing location this month,” said Ricardo Azevedo, CEO of Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, said in a press release issued by the company. “This new market will translate to even more positive ‘Woof Gang’ experiences with pets and pet parents, and we’re thrilled to be a part of that. Our mission to provide exceptional pet care services to more communities is something we keep top of mind and put into action every day.”
The Boise location offers grooming services along with an exclusive line of treats, toys, treats and high-quality pet food. Additionally, the new location carries the new, proprietary Woof Gang Chicken Chips. The snack is made from 100% human-grade chicken breast.
“As pet lovers ourselves, we understand how important it is to offer a trusted, personalized experience for both pets and their families,” Adrian Giovanetti and Maria Gabriela Chacon, owners of the new Woof Gang, said in a statement from the company. “From our professional grooming services to our all-natural gourmet treats, we’re committed to making pets feel loved, cared for, and pampered in a safe and welcoming environment.”
Woof Gang said there are more than 85-million pet-owning households in the United States and the company’s franchise offers an opportunity to succeed “within a thriving, innovative business model.”
“We can’t wait to become Boise’s go-to neighborhood pet store and share the Woof Gang experience with local pet parents,” Giovanetti and Chacon said.
Earlier this year, Woof Gang opened its first location in the greater Toronto market. New stores in Arizona and Minnesota are also in the pipeline, the company said. Potential franchise owners can learn more about the company at franchise.woofgangbakery.com.
The news in Boise follows recent openings in the West from pet care franchises Sparkle Grooming Corp. (Scottsdale, Arizona) and Woofie’s (Boulder, Colorado).
