DESIGN SPECIFICATION MANUAL Q3
WELCOME LETTER
Welcome to Central Bark!
We are excited for you and for the future clients that you will serve with Central Bark Whole Dog Care. You are now a part of a growing, dynamic, enthusiastic franchise community, and an amazing Brand!
More than 25 years after we opened our first location, our business has grown and evolved, but our MISSION remains the same:
To nurture and enrich whole health, happiness, and unconditional love for each dog, family, and community we serve. Our Core Values of Passion, Compassion, Integrity, and Respect are the cornerstones of what we do. These values govern and inform how we behave, manage, lead, and engage with others.
This document’s purpose is to provide you with direction on how to activate and commercialize the Central Bark brand in your community. While the franchise locations are independently owned and operated by franchisees like yourself, we are providing a roadmap that helps to ensure brand and customer consistency across the entire network. The Central Bark brand is truly “different, better, and special,” and to further enable brand consistency, we have developed certain methods and practices for conducting business that are part of the Central Bark System Standards. This helps to protect and grow the Central Bark brand and its reputation, which in turn, protects and grows the value of your investment. This Design Specifications Manual is designed to provide you with the guidance and assistance you need to open your location and achieve the kind of results that are the foundation of our collective and individual success as a Brand.
The Design Specifications Manual outlines the quality standards for you to follow so you can make the Central Bark brand unique and differentiated in the marketplace. We know you want to have the very best location possible which is why we want to provide you with all the tools necessary to accomplish this objective. Please know your opinions are extremely valuable to us, so if you have questions or concerns, please ask us! We are one large community, and it is important to all of us that we strive for continued excellence and improvements. Having you engage with us is a key component of this methodology.
Congratulations again on this momentous occasion and welcome to Central Bark business ownership!

CONGRATS, YOU JUST SIGNED. NOW WHAT?
After signing on as a franchisee, Barkley Ventures Franchising, LLC (BVF) will provide you with the resources needed to get your store up and running. Connect with your Onboarding Manager as they will guide you along this process. You will need to obtain CAD files or drawings of the existing building, take interior and exterior photos, and document structural features and equipment (water heaters, electrical panels, etc. ) that exist in the space.
CONTACT THE ARCHITECT
Once you are ready to start the design of your space, receive approval from BVF to contact the preferred architect of Central Bark. The architect will want to have an introductory virtual meeting to understand your space and design goals. A contract between you and the architect will be drafted for your review, approval and signature. Then the fun begins!
DESIGN /APPROVALS
With a signed contract in place, design will begin. The architect will dive deeper into the layout and construction of your building. Local, state and national building codes will be reviewed to ensure compliance. You and the architect will work together to develop an acceptable floor plan. Once established, the architect will prepare construction documents for a general contractor to price and build your space.
HIRE CONTRACTOR / BUILD
Engage a general contractor to review the construction documents and provide you with a cost estimate for the work. At times, it is beneficial to engage 2-3 general contractors to compare their estimates and make sure that you are getting the most bang for your buck. Once you have selected a general contractor and entered into a contract with them, it is time to build.
GO THRU ALL CHECKLIST ITEMS FOR PRE-OPENING
When your project is nearing completion, reference and complete the pre-opening checklist provided by BVF. If certain items are not completed on time, it could delay your opening. Once the architect has visited the site at the end of construction and deemed your project substantially complete, an occupancy permit can be obtained. Let the celebration begin!
