MiamiWoof Gang Bakery & Grooming, a leading pet service franchise brand in the U.S., will open its first store in Canada in 2023.

“We’re thrilled to be widening the Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming footprint starting with our Canadian debut in the vibrant greater Toronto area,” says Alex Macedo, chairman of Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming. Macedo previously served as global brand president for Tim Hortons. “The Canadian culture aligns perfectly with Woof Gang’s values of community, quality and great customer service and we look forward to growing our brand here to meet the demand of the pet ownership industry in the country.”
