WAG N’ WASH CONTINUES
TWIN CITIES EXPANSION

Wag N’ Wash Food & Bakery, a full-line specialty retail destination for cats and dogs, is accelerating its expansion aspirations in Minnesota.

With one store already open and operating in Eagan, Minn., and a second slated to open early next year in the West Saint Paul area, the specialty pet retailer hopes to have as many as 10 stores in the Twin Cities over the next several years.

“The Twin Cities—with its countless lakes, rivers, green spaces galore and plenty of natural escapes right within the city limits—is a paradise of sorts for man and woman’s best friends,” said Wag N’ Wash co-founder Dan Remus. “We anxiously look forward to expanding our local footprint even further, and continuing to improve the lives of companion animals and helping them transition to a much healthier lifestyle.” Today, there are 14 Wag N’ Wash locations throughout Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, New Jersey, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington.
