About Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming
Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming is a specialty pet franchise that combines professional grooming services with curated retail. Founded in 2007 in Florida, the brand has grown to over 200 open locations in the United States, with development active across more than 30 states and an initial entry into Canada in 2023. Stores operate from purpose-built retail storefronts that accommodate both a grooming salon and a retail floor.
The business model is grooming-led, with approximately 72% of store revenue derived from services and 28% from retail. The brand grooms over one million dogs per year across its network. Retail offerings include hand-selected premium food, gourmet treats, and wellness products, with ranges curated to differentiate from mass-market pet supply chains.
Woof Gang positions itself as a neighborhood pet destination built around premium care and recurring relationships with local pet owners. The brand is headquartered in Miami, Florida, and is a member of the International Franchise Association.
Franchisee Support
Franchisees spend an initial week at Woof Gang headquarters alongside the Chief Grooming Officer, CEO, COO, and CMO, covering grooming operations, retail management, business administration, hiring, and local marketing through virtual and hands-on components. Ongoing support includes monthly performance reports, a CRM for customer marketing, local digital marketing consultants, product and equipment discounts, and regional and national support staff. A proprietary software platform and branded e-commerce app are part of the operating system. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and platform access are available when ownership changes.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming has ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 across multiple consecutive years, most recently at No. 284 in the 2026 list, up from No. 428 the prior year. The brand also appears in the Franchise Times Top 500. Industry trade recognition includes a Retailer of the Year Franchise Award from Pet Product News, a listing among the nation's fastest-growing pet chains by Pet Insight magazine, and recognition by Pet Business Media as a top-10 retailer and recipient of its Best Overall Multi-Unit Retailer and Multiservice Excellence awards. Woof Gang holds IFA membership.
Industry / Market
The US pet grooming and boarding market reached $15.5 billion in 2025 according to IBISWorld, with dog grooming revenues growing at an estimated 7–9% annually through 2030. The American Pet Products Association projects total US pet industry spending at $157 billion for 2025, supported by 94 million pet-owning households. Pet spending has remained resilient during economic downturns, recording growth in each of the 2001–03, 2007–09, and 2020 contractions. For resale buyers, the depth of local grooming demand and the stability of an existing appointment customer base are key indicators of unit-level performance.
Ideal Owner
Woof Gang franchisees are not expected to have grooming experience; most owners come from outside the pet industry. The day-to-day role is general management rather than hands-on service delivery, centred on recruiting and supervising groomers, managing retail inventory, and building relationships with local pet owners. Strong customer service instincts, confidence with staff management, and community engagement are the operational priorities. An affinity for dogs and an ability to sustain a welcoming, pet-focused environment will reinforce the neighbourhood model the brand is built around.
