Coming Soon: Raleigh-Durham Area Central Bark Location to Open Summer of 2025

The whole dog care provider will offer its unique wellness-focused services in the heart of Durham

RALEIGH-DURHAM, N.C., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --  Central Bark®, the premier whole dog care franchise and industry pioneer, is set to open its third North Carolina location in the summer of 2025. The state-of-the-art facility located in the heart of Durham at 725 Iredell St. will offer dogs and their owners dog day care, overnight boarding, grooming, training, and more. All services are grounded in Central Bark's unique whole dog care philosophy which combines industry-leading care expertise with the latest in canine behavioral science.

"As one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country, Raleigh-Durham is in need of more top-quality dog care offerings, and that's why Central Bark will be such a welcome addition to this thriving community," said Bob Crawford, CEO for Central Bark. "We know that young, bustling cities are full of professionals and dedicated pet parents who are looking for these services, and we couldn't be more excited to offer them in the Raleigh-Durham area."

Central Bark typically features approximately 6,000 – 7,000 square feet of indoor space plus more than 2,000 square feet of outdoor play area. Activities include small flexible playgroups, group skills work, rest periods, and personalized one-on-one enrichment sessions. Enrichment add-ons give pups the extra attention they love and the freedom to use their senses, safely exploring with their instincts as they engage with interactive toys, puzzles, and games.

"This new facility will be a welcome addition to our rapidly growing Central Bark franchise family in North Carolina," said Crawford. "We are changing the dog care landscape across the country, one new Central Bark at a time. Our approach to enrichment programming, including Puppy Hours, rest periods and low dog-to-enrichment specialist ratio, are differentiators for a reason and that is resonating with new franchisees and our customers alike. We're looking forward to introducing the Raleigh-Durham community to our approach with our newest location."
