WESTMINSTER, Colo.,
May 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Camp Bow
Wow®, the nation's largest Doggy Day Care and Boarding
franchise, relocated its headquarters to Westminster, Colorado, to occupy a new
8,289-square-foot space conceived with dog friendliness in mind.
The 100+ million-dollar brand, which ranked #1 in the pet category
on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list for 2016 and
2017, has already displayed significant growth this year with an 18
percent increase in its corporate workforce, and has additional
plans to increase its team by 8-12 percent by year's end.
Throughout Camp Bow Wow's expansion, the franchise remains
committed to its dog-driven core values and encourages its
corporate employees to bring their dogs to work regularly – even
into meetings. From stress relief for staff to increased
socialization for their dogs, the reasons to bring furry friends
into the office are numerous.
Camp Bow Wow's new office reflects the brand's unceasing
capacity to lead the doggy day care and boarding sector both in
profitability and by example in the workplace. The franchisor made
careful interior design and floorplan decisions in order to
recreate the Camp lifestyle at its headquarters, benefiting both
pets and their working pet parents. The space's intentionally long
hallways are great places for employees to play fetch with their
pups, while a gated area in the back of the building gives dogs a
chance to socialize and enjoy treats from complimentary dog treat
dispensers. Private office doorways and cubicle "pod" entrances are
also affixed with dog gates for staff who want to keep their
canines close by, while toys, water bowls and dog beds are aplenty
around the office.
"Our pet-friendly workplace policy is reflective of the fact
that everyone who works at Camp Bow Wow is genuinely passionate
about dogs," said Christina Russell,
president of Camp Bow Wow. "Many of our employees are also frequent
foster pet parents, and we are delighted to support their
commitment to animal wellbeing by providing a positive environment
for these foster pups while they wait to find their forever
homes."
The executive leaders at Camp Bow Wow can attest to the numerous
studies and articles that find that allowing dogs in the office
increases staff morale, productivity and overall happiness.
Additionally, pet presence can help lower employee absenteeism
rates, reduce stress and strengthen relationships between
coworkers. In order to further maximize the benefits of allowing
dogs at work, Camp Bow Wow's new headquarters offers empty offices
and collaborative rooms that are available for staff who need quiet
spaces on busy days.
Camp Bow Wow's ability to create and maintain a dog-friendly
environment as its staff, office space and revenue continue to grow
is a testament to its position as "leader of the pack" atop the pet
care industry. Through deliberate design methods and careful
execution of pet-friendly office practices, the franchisor
demonstrates its vision of "Happy Healthy Pets, Happy Healthy
People" at its new Westminster,
Colorado headquarters.
