Woof Gang Bakery

What Woof Gang Bakery does

Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming is a US-based franchise operator in the premium pet services category, headquartered in Orlando, Florida and founded in 2007. The company operates more than 450 locations (open or under development) across 36 US states and Canada, with grooming services representing more than 70% of operations and serving as the flagship revenue line. Its primary end customer is dog-owning households — a base supported by the disclosed statistic that more than 50% of US households own a dog — targeted through a local-store model that bundles professional grooming with branded bakery treats and pet retail products.

The company's product and service portfolio centers on premium dog grooming (full-service bathing and styling), proprietary bakery treats, a consumer-facing mobile app launched in 2026, a recently introduced hypoallergenic pet wipe line, and what is described as the largest toy collection in company history. The underlying technology stack is light: a consumer mobile app for engagement and service access, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, proprietary algorithms, or data platform. Distribution runs exclusively through physical retail storefronts under a franchise model, with the company capturing revenue via franchise fees and royalties, corporate-owned store revenue, and product sales to franchisees and consumers.

Woof Gang is privately held and has been backed by private equity firm Garnett Station Partners since a 2022 investment intended to fund expansion. The company is led by CEO Ricardo Azevedo (management-team records), with grooming as the strategic anchor and ongoing geographic expansion — including new entries into Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Utah in 2026 — as the primary growth lever. Revenue and unit-economics figures are not publicly disclosed; the CEO has cited "record revenues" alongside the 300th-store operating milestone reached in 2025.
