Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, a leading pet grooming franchise in the United States, is entering Michigan for the first time with a planned location in Northville. More stores are expected to be added in the state.

In addition to offering pet grooming services and supplies, each location has a bakery that produces all-natural dog treats free of artificial flavors, fillers, and preservatives. Overall, the pet industry in the U.S. is a $124-billion industry.

The entry into Michigan and Oregon comes on the heels of rapid growth. In 2023, the company entered into agreements for stores to open in Washington D.C. and 10 new states, including California, Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Washington, Massachusetts, and Minnesota.

With the addition of Michigan and Oregon, Woof Gang will soon have locations in 30 states, covering more than half of the United States. The exact Northville location and a timeline for opening were not provided.

“We are thrilled to kick off the new year by expanding our footprint into Oregon and Michigan,” says Ricardo Azevedo, CEO of Miami-based Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming. “This expansion is not just about opening new stores; it’s about extending our family and spreading love and joy to the pet communities we serve.”

In January 2024, Woof Gang opened its first international location in Oakville, Canada, a suburb of Toronto. The company has plans to add five additional stores slated in the Greater Toronto area.

In addition, the brand is seeking entrepreneurs to become franchisees. With more than 85 million homes with pets in the United States and an innovative dual-concept business model, prospective franchisee can learn more at franchise.woofgangbakery.com.

Founded in 2007, Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming states it is the leading specialty retailer of pet food, pet supplies, and professional pet grooming in North America, with more than 350 locations open or under development in the United States.
