ORLANDO, Fla. (Sept. 16, 2009) - Woof Gang Bakery, the nation's fastest-growing gourmet dog treat bakery and retail store franchise, marks a milestone with the opening of their tenth franchise location. The newest Woof Gang Bakery franchise store is located in Orlando, Fla., also the company's corporate headquarters. As part of the franchisor's strategic, planned expansion, the company recently awarded two area development agreements within the state of Florida. Discussions are currently in progress for area development regions in Central Fla. and a Gulf Coast territory encompassing New Orleans, La. Under these area development agreements, approximately 20 new stores will open by the end of 2010. The company is actively seeking new franchisees to own and operate stores in these and other key markets. Franchise locations in upscale, high-traffic retail plazas with strong anchor stores are preferred. Woof Gang Bakery stores are typically 700 to 1,500 square feet, with each location utilizing from one to three employees (including the owner). For existing, independently-owned pet businesses, conversion franchise opportunities are available. Woof Gang Bakery franchise owners are a special "breed," possessing a mix of dedication, approach to excellence, business-minded enthusiasm, a passion for pets and commitment to their local communities. Woof Gang Bakery was founded on the principle that caring pet owners want to provide their pets with the happiest, healthiest quality of life possible. The company is committed to providing superior products that enhance the well-being of companion animals. Today, more than ever, a remarkably high demand exists for these products and services. According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, pet ownership and spending on pets is at an all time high, with Americans now spending approximately $46 billion a year on their pets. What some have dubbed "recession proof," the pet industry continues to show marked growth in food sales. Premium pet food sales contribute significantly to this increase, with more Americans conscious about the quality of food they are feeding their pets. A recent survey by the Associated Press found that although Americans may be spending less on themselves, they're not cutting back on their pets. Only one in seven pet owners said they had decreased spending on their pet during the past year, even as spending on other expenses declined.
