Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming opens 300th location in Middleton, part of The Villages

Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming (“Woof Gang” or “the Company”), the neighborhood pet grooming and treat boutique, is proud to announce the opening of its 300th location, a meaningful brand milestone made even more special by the franchisees and community behind it.

The 300th store officially opened this week in Middleton, Florida, part of the growing The Villages community just outside Orlando. It is the third Woof Gang location opened by longtime franchise partners Beth and Woody Whitcomb, which further reinforces the strength of the partnerships that Woof Gang develops with its franchise partners and the growth opportunities for the company even in its more mature markets. Beth and Woody’s passion for care, leadership, and local connection have helped define the Woof Gang experience across the country.

“We’re honored to open Woof Gang’s 300th location, and to do it here in The Villages, a community that has embraced Woof Gang in such a big way,” said Beth Whitcomb. “Since opening our first Woof Gang in 2015, we’ve seen firsthand how deeply pet parents value a place they can trust for premium grooming and thoughtfully curated products. Bringing our third Woof Gang to The Villages is the clearest proof of that loyalty and the continued need for what the brand delivers every day: exceptional care, elevated experiences, and a neighborhood destination built around pets and the people who love them. We’re excited to keep meeting that demand and serving even more local families with the Woof Gang experience.”

“The opening of our 300th location is a major moment, not just for our brand, but for what it represents,” said Ricardo Azevedo, CEO of Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming. “The Whitcombs have helped shape who we are, and how we show up for pets and people. Their passion and leadership continue to influence how we support our franchisees, connect with communities, and grow with purpose.”
