A set of software designers are utilizing their market experience to start a Jefferson Park dog park and taproom.
Husband and other half Layton Judd and Louise Fahys said they’re building the kind of location where they wish to take their dog Barkley.
“There’s really no place to go to hang out with your dog and friends and chill out,” Judd said.
The result is Happy Dog Park & Taproom, an astro grass dog park with a self-serve tap wall and food truck service that the couple are working to open at 2850 W. 26th Ave.
The business will run on a subscription design, with choices for $35 a month or $240 a year. A single go to will be $15. And that’s per dog — people don’t require a subscription and simply spend for anything acquired.
“The customer is not somebody who comes to buy beer, the customer is the dog,” Judd said. “It’s a private club for the dog.”
Judd said the park will be 5,000 square feet and have ventilating and cleaning up representatives to get rid of smells. There will likewise be a 1,400-square-foot tap room and a 200-square-foot deck.
“The amenities for a dog should be the same as what you would want,” Judd said. “To owners, pets are like their babies, so we’re going to do our best to keep a clean facility.”
The couple signed a lease at the Jefferson Park area since they state information programs approximately 40 percent of the surrounding locals have dogs. The property was formerly utilized by Enterprise, the car rental company.
Fahys established Code A Site, a business that constructs and preserves sites for customers, and Judd established 3 Birds Marketing, which concentrates on the vehicle market. They said they’ll most likely keep operating in the tech market after opening.
“We’re entrepreneurs, so this is to us just like a tech business,” Judd said.
At Happy Dog, family pet moms and dads will require to download the app Plan2Play, which Fahys was developed by Fahys, to register their dog, upload veterinarian records and handle subscription.
Fahys said this business is not almost dogs. With the app, members can link straight and fulfill up beyond the taproom.
“The main passion we have is community,” Fahys said. “That’s why I made the app – it could be a really great place to meet people, and dogs are great conversation starters.”
