TL;DR
Bowie Barker Bath + Groomerie, a new pet franchise, is preparing for launch with full-service grooming and self-serve wash stations. The concept was founded in Los Angeles by Jeff Platt, Gara Post, and Michelle Sandonato, and is a lifestyle brand under the Post Investment Group family.
Founded in Los Angeles, Bowie Barker opened its flagship West Hollywood location in May 2022.
Bowie Barker was born out of the necessity for high-quality care that dog owners can trust. The concept updates the traditional dog grooming experience with a convenient booking app, a modern store design and interior, wellness checks for pups, and a simple membership program, while also providing a suite of full-service and DIY offerings for its guests and members.
Bowie Barker is a lifestyle brand under the Post Investment Group family, which focuses on four sectors; real estate, consumer products, pet services, and health and wellness. Bowie Barker was co-founded by Jeff Platt, former CEO of Sky Zone and current President of The NOW Massage, Gara Post, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of The NOW Massage, and Michelle Sandonato, VP of Strategy at The NOW Massage and former VP of Guest Experience at Sky Zone.
“Designed to meet the needs of Millennial and Gen Z dog owners, Bowie Barker’s thoughtful, modern design, custom technology platform, and straightforward, membership-based pricing elevates the standard pet care experience,” said Bowie Barker Co-Founder Michelle Sandonato.
