MIAMI, Jan. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming (“Woof Gang” or “the Company”), the neighborhood pet grooming and treat boutique, today announced record-breaking results for 2025, reaching $150m in system wide sales, a 25% YoY increase. The sales reflect a year of significant growth across strategic regions in the Midwest, Northeast, and West Coast.
The Company is on track to open its 300th location this month in The Villages, a growing community just outside Orlando, Florida. Woof Gang’s rapid expansion - it took 15 years to reach its first 150 stores and has doubled that in the last 3 - underscores Woof Gang’s position as the only national-scale pet grooming franchise and a leading force in the booming pet care industry.
“2025 was an exceptional year for Woof Gang as we hit new record highs, but we believe this is just the beginning of our growth journey with tremendous whitespace ahead,” said Ricardo Azevedo, CEO of Woof Gang. “Woof Gang is the largest brand of its kind in the country, and our franchisee partners are dedicated to providing exceptional grooming experience and a wide array of tasty treats for pet parents and their pets. We look forward to opening more Woof Gang’s across the country to bring the Woof Gang Way to entrepreneurs and pet parents in more communities as we capitalize on the rising demand for pet services.”
Looking ahead, Woof Gang plans to scale to approximately 450 stores across North America by 2027, continuing its mission to bring premium pet care to neighborhoods nationwide. The Company will also continue investing in its growing portfolio of proprietary private label treats, expanding into new categories that reflect evolving customer needs and reinforce Woof Gang’s leadership in pet wellness, grooming, and retail innovation.
