Wag N’ Wash Signs Agreement to Open in St. Louis
Wag N’ Wash Natural Pet Food & Grooming, a full-line specialty retail destination for cats and dogs, announced it has signed an agreement with local entrepreneur Amy Putzler for the St. Louis area. The forthcoming location is expected to open midway through 2021.
A go-to spot for companion animals and pet lovers alike, the Wag N’ Wash location in St. Louis will offer self-wash and grooming services, natural food products and fresh-made bakery items that are corn-free, soy-free, wheat-free, preservative-free, with no filler ingredients. As the local owner and operator, Putzler will oversee daily operations and immerse herself into the community through various fundraisers and adoption events.
“I could not be more excited to bring the enthusiastic culture of Wag N’ Wash to the great community in St. Louis,” said Putlzer, an experienced HR executive. “Having lived in the O’Fallon area for some time, I know the region is filled with passionate animal lovers and am eager to fulfill the need the market has for a one-stop pet destination. Pet owners in St. Louis will soon have a place to wash ‘em, feed ‘em, spoil ‘em and love ‘em at Wag N’ Wash.”
Putlzer has a passion for the pet care industry. With an adopted Saint Bernard mix of her own, she saw a need in the local market for a different type of pet facility that offers multiple services, especially in a store as spacious as Wag N’ Wash. Putlzer upholds a business mentality in her approach to ownership and will work alongside 10 staff members to manage operations.
