The trailblazing pet service franchise will break into the state with new Norton Commons and Planview locations, representing a major step forward in its expansion in the South.

Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, the renowned pet service franchise brand in the United States, is thrilled to announce its expansion into Kentucky, with the opening of two new stores in the state this summer. Last week, our expansion reached Plainview, KY, as we opened our doors to customers in the area, and we're thrilled to announce that our store in Norton Commons, KY, is scheduled to open in July. This marks our entry into the third new state this year, following successful launches in Illinois and Indiana. Our growth strategy continues with plans to enter six additional states by the end of the year, demonstrating our commitment to bringing top-quality pet care services to communities nationwide.
