An Upscale Neighborhood Pet Store
Dissatisfaction with large retail pet stores led Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming founders, Paul and Cara Allen, to launch an upscale neighborhood pet store. Each location features high-quality pet products and customized luxury grooming services. This concept gained traction with customers who want to pamper their pets, and the brand has grown to at least 400 locations open or under development over the last 15 years.
The Woof Gang Bakery franchise’s business model caters to a high-income demographic. Finding the right market for the business may not be challenging. You’ll need a location with the right mix of retail partners and high foot traffic to be successful. The Woof Gang Bakery franchise cost is higher than a mobile unit. Physical locations require significant upfront investments in real estate, renovations, and utilities, as well as ongoing expenses like rent, maintenance, and staffing. Expansion also demands careful market research to find viable locations, which can be time-consuming and competitive.
To lower startup costs and create your own schedule, Aussie Pet Mobile is a better choice. Our mobile vans make it easy to expand your footprint and working from a home office can give you the work-life balance you crave.
