Woof Gang Bakery Grooming now open in Capitol Hills 2025 litter of new pet-centered businesses

Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming has opened its first location in Capitol Hill's Harvard Market, responding to the area's need for new retail after the exit of major tenants. The franchise offers luxury grooming services, gourmet pet treats, and premium pet nutrition, aiming to create a community-focused atmosphere. Owners Sanjna Mehta and Anurag Gandhi, who appreciate Seattle's vibrant community, are dedicated to providing personalized customer service. The store will host events, including canine-friendly meetups in Cal Anderson Park and partnerships for “Yappy Hours” with nearby apartments. Harvard Market has faced challenges with public safety concerns and significant retail vacancies, including the closure of Bartell Drugs.

Woof Gang's opening is seen as a pivotal moment for revitalization efforts in the shopping center, which has struggled to attract new tenants. Another Woof Gang location is planned for Issaquah, indicating the franchise's growth in Western Washington. Additionally, All the Best is set to open a new store in Capitol Hill, further enhancing the area's pet retail landscape.
