Waggles Puppy Boutique is set to open its doors in the Valley View Mall, with a new storefront that will be home to 14 kennels on the second floor. The owner has invested $200,000 to build the store, according to city records. The company’s chief operating officer, Kerry Rod, shared that the pups sold at Waggles will cost an average of $2,000. This will be the second store for Waggles, with a first store currently open in Port Charlotte, Florida and about 20 more locations in development.
The focus of Waggles Puppy Boutique is on providing healthy and well-socialized puppies to families. Kerry Rod explained that the company works with new families to find their perfect fit for forever homes. Waggles’ commitment to this mission comes from years of experience in placing puppies while enhancing breeding standards and developing in-store operations that prioritize the puppies’ health and welfare.
Waggles plans to occupy the same location in Valley View Mall where a previous pet store called Puppy Love Inc. operated until August 2022. Despite the previous store’s closure, state records show that the Puppy Love company is now inactive, and there is no connection between Waggles and Puppy Love. The new store promises a fresh and unique approach to finding your next furry family member.
