Renata Sepe of Avon, who owns the West Hartford store, said her store will be the first of its kind "on this side of the mountain."

"My main goal is to enhance the pet and pet lover customer experience by focusing on small details that make a big difference, like our salon-style, appointment-based grooming service that reduces waiting time and canine stress," Sepe said in a statement. "I want to make sure all our customers, two-legged and four-legged alike, enjoy the Woof Gang Bakery and Grooming neighborhood pet store experience."
