PITTSBURGH, Pa.  – The Dog Stop, the all-inclusive and award-winning dog care brand rapidly expanding across the U.S., is excited to announce their tremendous success in 2023 that has prepared them for upward trajectory in the coming year. The brand opened four new locations and sold an additional 29 territories, while focusing on internal growth through new leadership and developing new offerings for both consumers and franchisees that will prime them for an explosive 2024.

The Dog Stop opened four new franchise locations in Argyle, TX, Centerville, VA, Pittsburgh, PA, and New Orleans, LA in 2023. In addition to the new locations, the brand signed deals for 29 territories, partnering with 20+ new franchisees, to bring stores to FL, TX, TN, LA, SC, MI, PA, NY, KY, VA, CA, WA, OH, OR, GA and CO. The brand has already opened three new locations in 2024 throughout Texas, located in Spring, Katy and Plano and has a location coming to Baton Rouge, LA in March and two others coming to Marietta, GA and Knoxville, TN in April. The Dog Stop anticipates opening an additional 17 plus locations in the remainder of the year and is actively looking for passionate partners throughout the country to join them as they continue towards their mission of providing safe and reliable dog care for all pups nationwide.

“It was a tremendous year for our brand in terms of pushing towards our franchise development goals,” said Jesse Coslov, CEO and Co-Founder of The Dog Stop. “We’re thrilled to have opened four new locations and to have found incredible partners to help us expand our reach in the new year. We anticipate a busy 2024 as we continue our growth and can’t wait to support our franchisees in the best way possible to ensure their success.”

The brand also experienced monumental internal growth, adding two new members to the leadership team, announcing Diane Walter as Director of Marketing and Megan Allen as Director of Franchise Development. They will be key assets in ensuring a smooth expansion journey both for The Dog Stop and its franchisees.

The Dog Stop was also recognized in this year’s Inc 5000’s Fastest Growing Private Companies list, rising the ranks from last year, up to #3,511. The brand also focused on growing their available offerings for clients and franchisees, rolling out new “enrichment” and VIP (Very Independent Players) program, which allow customers to experience a more tailored program, receiving one-on-one care and added mental stimulation for their pups. The Dog Stop continues to be a leader in the pet care space, becoming the first nationwide boarding and daycare space to partner with Fear Free in 2023, a program dedicated to offering online educational programs with the goal of alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress in pets to provide a better experience for dogs and their owners. On the franchisee side, The Dog Stop announced their plans to offer more diversified options through new choices for smaller footprints and facilities that cater to smaller dogs as we see a rise of pets in urban environments.

“The internal growth we focused on in 2023 has poised us for a successful 2024,” continued Coslov. “We strive to continue to innovate and find new ways to do our best to support everyone in The Dog Stop system, both consumer and franchisee, and the new leadership we have brought on will help us achieve just that. We are beyond excited to bring The Dog Stop difference to new markets and introduce pet parents to best-in-class all-in-one dog care.”
