As we expand our presence across the Midwest, Central Bark signed a multi-unit franchise agreement for Naperville, Ill. Leading this growth is Naperville resident Mike Carter. He recently signed a Central Bark three-unit franchise development agreement for this area in the Chicago suburbs. He has spent the bulk of his professional career in the IT strategy and consulting space.

Mike spent the last 20 years harnessing technological solutions and innovations to help businesses transform their operations. Now he was simply ready for a change. A lifelong dog lover, he knew there had to be something out there that could combine his passion for dogs and the ability to scale a business. Enter Central Bark.
Why I Chose Central Bark
“As I was contemplating my exit from the corporate world after more than two decades of working for some of the largest consulting firms, I knew I wanted to be in business for myself,” said Mike. “I looked at all kinds of dog related businesses because that’s a passion of mine, but there was something special about Central Bark. The brand has built an incredible culture over the last 20 years and that sense of community was palpable. Plus, Central Bark puts dog safety and whole dog care above everything else. That kind of commitment to the dogs and to their pet parents was something I wanted to be a part of and help grow.”
