MIAMI — Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming debuted a new retail location in Seattle, marking the franchise’s first location in Washington and expansion into its 28th state. The new location builds upon Woof Gang’s coast-to-coast expansion, bringing its signature pet experience to the Pacific Northwest. 

The new store is located in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. According to Woof Gang, the store reinforces its dedication to supporting local communities through neighborhood-driven franchises that provide quality pet care and services. 

“Expanding into the Pacific Northwest is a major milestone for Woof Gang,” said Ricardo Azevedo, chief executive officer of Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming. “Seattle’s Capitol Hill is a dynamic and welcoming neighborhood, and we’re excited to bring our unique mix of personalized grooming, all-natural treats and boutique retail to pet parents in the area. We’re looking forward to spreading love and joy to pet communities across Seattle and throughout Washington.”

The store will offer personalized, salon-style grooming services tailored to each pet, a wide range of natural Woof Gang treats, dog birthday cakes and gourmet bakery items, and a selection of premium pet products, toys and wellness items. 

With this Seattle location, Woof Gang currently has more than 450 stores open or in development throughout the United States and Canada. This year the company plans to open more than 70 new stores, including locations in Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah and Washington. Earlier this month, the retailer entered its 27th state, Wisconsin.
