## Story

With three locations currently open, now is the perfect time to bring this exciting concept to Washington. Laying his roots in Redmond, Washington, Bharadwaj has invested in the brand as a regional developer.

“As someone who understands what a successful business venture looks like, I was immediately attracted to Pet Evolution”, said Bharadwaj.

Originally from India, Bharadwaj has spent his career in tech development working for brands like Amazon and Microsoft, but this isn’t his first venture as a business owner. Working to build tech start-ups, Bharadwaj‘s background makes him the perfect addition to spearhead the brand’s expansion in Washington.

“I’m not only excited to be teaming up with Pet Evolution, but breaking into a new and exciting industry”, added Bharadwaj. “Ironically throughout my childhood I had a fear of dogs. It wasn’t until my aunt adopted a Black Lab that I fell in love with dogs and understood the joy they provided their families. My hope is to give dogs across Washington the food, products, and services they need so they can continue to live their happiest and healthiest lives, continuing to bring joy to the humans in their lives.”

“We’re confident that Shankar will successfully guide our franchise partners, as he brings a robust background in business and an undeniable love for pets,” added Peter Carlson, President of Pet Evolution Franchising, LLC.
