August 19, 2024 // Franchising.com // PITTSBURGH, Pa. – The Dog Stop is about to open a new location in Lake Charles. Located at 3507 Ryan Street, Lake Charles, LA 70605, the new facility will be the brand’s fifth location in Louisiana. Doors opened for business in August, with a grand opening celebration in September, and promises a full range of services designed to enrich every aspect of a dog’s life.
To provide the best possible service to the dogs in the community, The Dog Stop Lake Charles will welcome the talented team of Ace and Chanti’s. The local dog groomer closed its doors this summer and will join The Dog Stop’s growing family and support the new facility. The brand new one-stop dog grooming shop fills a gap in the market with its all-inclusive services including holistic retail, luxury boarding, an interactive and social daycare experience, spa-like grooming and more. With four more successful locations in Louisiana, The Dog Stop has established itself in the state and is now ready to offer its high-quality services to pet owners in Lake Charles.
“We are so excited to welcome the incredible team at Ace and Chanti’s to the Dog Stop community,” said Shawn Nunez, local owner of The Dog Stop Lake Charles. “This is a great opportunity to retain their expertise and maintain the sense of community they have built with loyal dog owners. We look forward to opening our doors to returning and new furry friends and are committed to maintaining the quality care and services they expect.”
Nunez, a Lake Charles native, decided to open The Dog Stop after his community was hit by a major hurricane. Like many others, he adopted a dog during the COVID-19 pandemic, just a month before the hurricane struck. Nunez and his dog Zeus sustained damage to their home and had to live outside of town while repairs were made. During this time, Nunez was looking for a place for Zeus to go while he was at work and learned about dog boarding and daycare services. When he realized there was a need for these services in his own community, he began researching options and discovered The Dog Stop. He was impressed with the brand’s streamlined model and commitment to excellent dog care services and hopes to eventually open more locations in communities across southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas.
“I decided to join the team at The Dog Stop to fill a gap in the dog grooming industry in my hometown of Lake Charles,” said Nunez. “The brand’s proven business structure as an all-inclusive facility is extremely beneficial and rewarding. The opportunity to have a location to build relationships between local dog owners and the team at The Dog Stop is unlike anything we have in the community and I’m excited to bring this to Lake Charles.”
Owned and operated by dog owners since 2009, The Dog Stop understands the complex process of dog grooming and knows there is no one-size-fits-all approach. At The Dog Stop, the experts at each location stay up to date with the latest science when it comes to dog grooming, behavior, grooming, and nutrition. As a one-stop shop, it also offers pet grooming products and supplies. Every item on the shelves is the latest and greatest in its respective category, so every dog that comes through gets the very best treatment.
“Partnering with passionate franchisees is key to our mission and expansion plans,” said Jesse Coslov, CEO and co-founder of The Dog Stop. “We are thrilled to now be working with Shawn.”
