Dogwood Country Club
As our vision came to life, the dogwood trees in our front yard caught our eye. Not only is the dogwood the state flower of North Carolina, but it perfectly stands for everything we envisioned. It's a twist on what typically comes to mind when you think of a flower. And one of the most distinguishing features is the tightly packed cluster between bracts. The dogwood is community at its core. Tack on our goal to grow the game, and we knew that the name Dogwood Country Club was fate.

Woof Gang Bakery
Pet lovers Paul and Cara Allen were frustrated with the lack of good options for pet care needs. Big-box stores offered variety and convenience but lacked expertise, service, and the caring environment once seen in the neighborhood pet stores of the past. These new, large stores were chaotic and stressful for pets and people alike. The issue? The model of pet care was wrong, built on the premise that bigger is better and one size fits all. Big-box retailers were failing the clients they were meant to serve—the pets and their parents.
