Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming Expands into Boston, Massachusetts & Fargo, North Dakota

Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, a neighborhood pet grooming and treat boutique, has announced more progress in its national expansion, opening its first franchised stores in Boston, Massachusetts, and Fargo, North Dakota.

Woof Gang’s expansion into Massachusetts and North Dakota marks another significant milestone in its growth strategy to scale to more than 450 locations across the United States and Canada by 2027.

The new locations follow recent store openings in Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, and Maryland, and means Woof Gang now operates in 33 states and Canada as it continues to cement its position as the premier boutique grooming and pet wellness services provider.

“Our entry into Massachusetts and North Dakota is another meaningful step in our franchise growth strategy and mission to bring high-quality, personalized pet grooming experiences to neighborhoods across the country,” said Ricardo Azevedo, CEO of Woof Gang. “We’re proud to be the largest brand in premium pet grooming, and look forward to spreading love and joy to the pet communities of Boston, Fargo and beyond as we continue to grow.”

Woof Gang’s continued growth reflects the rising demand for salon-style grooming, wellness-focused services, and premium, all-natural treats. According to Morgan Stanley, pet services are expected to be the main driver of growth for the pet industry, more than doubling to $112 billion in 2030 from $48 billion in 2019, which the Company is positioned to capitalize on with its unique and scalable Woof Gang Way offering.

Each Woof Gang location offers one-on-one grooming in AKC SAFE-certified salons, alongside curated bakery treats, dog birthday cakes, and specialty retail products.

As the largest premium pet grooming brand, Woof Gang expects its continued expansion throughout the nation will continue to unlock new opportunities for entrepreneurs as franchise partners.
