## Story

May 09, 2023 - Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming is thrilled to announce that it has inked its international expansion to Canada and signing its first agreement in California in February. The 250th franchise agreement was signed for two stores located in Cumming and Buford.

“To hit 250 signed franchise agreements marks a monumental moment for Woof Gang,” said Ricardo Azevedo, Chief Executive Officer of Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming. “The accelerated growth Woof Gang has seen in the past few months truly serves as a testament to the passion our franchisees have to serve their communities. It is incredible to be able to provide the opportunity for pet lovers to turn their passion for pets into a profitable business.”

This year marks the second year in a row that the top-tier pet franchise brand has achieved record growth. In 2022, Woof Gang opened 25 locations across the U.S. to meet the increasing demand for pet services. Straying away from the traditional one-size-fits-all big box pet stores, Woof Gang prides itself on being the “neighborhood pet store” in all of its communities. The brand keeps its spaces smaller, more intimate, and staffed with pet lovers with expertise.
