At Just Dogs! Barkery, Inc., we love dogs! From the very first visit to our Home Office, Sales and Marketing Office, Barkery or stores you know our business is for Just Dogs!

Our business was founded by Colleen Starnadori and her daughter in the Fall of 2001. Colleen is a successful business woman and had recently left her position as COO of a national marketing organization. During this time she was living in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania (near Pittsburgh). He daughter was a dog groomer living in the Pocono Mountains in Eastern Pennsylvania. The five hour drive to see the grandchildren was becoming just too much, so Colleen asked her daughter and family to move to Western Pennsylvania and they would open a business together.

Colleen owns a beautiful Golden Retriever named �Lucy,� and she had for sometime been baking Lucy special treats because she was such a �good girl�. So Colleen decided to start baking treats for the grooming customers and the rest is history. The dogs loved the treats so much that they decided to start selling gourmet dog treats.
 

Our founding facilities are located on historic Quail Acres in Washington, PA (see picture above), were we have a general store, grooming salon, and playground/exercise course. The original Barkery was here, but due to our continued growth it was relocated to Canonsburg. The Barkery, and Home Offices will relocate Summer 2003 to our new 6,600 square foot facility in Washington, PA in preparation to meet the demand of our franchise efforts. We have pulled together an outstanding leadership team to take Just Dogs! Barkery, Inc. to a national household favorite. This team has experience in retail chain management, mall deployment, marketing, franchising, product development, graphic design, e-Commerce, and technology making Just Dogs! a competitive multi-unit retail distribution force in the all-natural gourmet pet treat industry.

Stores owned by our leadership team have continued to grow in Pennsylvania and Alabama. We are opening stores primarily in Malls either as custom branded kiosks or as branded in-line stores.
