(1184)
Visit at your convenience when your pup needs a clean-up. Whether it’s for a nail trim or a full-service groom, we’ve got you covered. Here's our story:
In January 2015, my dad passed away. C", then you know this was a tremendous and difficult loss for my family. My daughter, Kelsi, and I were driving back to the funeral home after a full day of celebrating my dad's life when we started talking a
bout her job as a dog groomer. Kelsi went on and on about how much she loved her job, but she mentioned that she wasn't getting enough hours as she would like and the wheels started turning. I started making calls the next day. We met with the owner of Central Plaza in Elizabeth, PA and found the perfect little spot for our very own grooming salon. With the help of my cousins, Vincent Candelore and Larry Mink (both have since passed away), we pulled together the most magical business ever. Vincent built out our space exactly how we had pictured it and Larry was our marketing guru and helped build our brand and spread the word. With no idea what to expect or who would show up, my daughter Kelsi and I proudly opened our doors to the public in March 2015. Fast forward to today, where we have 6 locations across the greater Pittsburgh area and 1 Boarding Resort. We now service and take care of over 48,000 fur babies and we're not stopping any time soon! We have plans to open more locations in the coming years to help widen our footprint to better conveniently serve our loyal customers. We are so proud of how far we've come and can't wait to see what the future holds for Candelore's Barking Beauties. We wouldn't be here without the help of our 3 angels (my dad, my cousins Vinnie and Larry), our amazing employees, and the best customer base anyone could ask for. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Candelore's Barking Beauties was founded in March 2015. The story and how this all happen is very special to our family. In January 2015 my Dad passed away and if you knew Mr. C. then you know this loss has been very difficult for myself and our family. Like they say when one door closes another door opens, that is exactly what happen here. My Daughter Kelsi Candelore and I were driving back to the Funeral Home to get her car after my dad's celebration of life dinner. She was telling me about her job and how much she loves being a groomer. So of course, I ask are you working steady and are you making enough money? Her response was "I don't get enough hours", I said maybe we can find a small spot and me and you can make something happen, of course she was excited and so was I.
This was January 22nd, 2015. The next day I called around the Elizabeth area looking for places available for a small grooming salon, we got lucky and meet Dan Poirier owner of the Central Plaza. I contacted my cousin Vincent Candelore (who has since passed away) and he put together what I think is the most magical business ever, he built the room and made things work, he had us up and running by March 7th 2015 and the doors open.
My daughter Kelsi and I opened with no idea what to expect, who might show up, if anyone would show up, we had no idea if we would even get 1 guest, we had no idea at all. In the meantime, my cousin Larry Mink worked with me everyday on marketing and getting our message out. If you know my cousin Larry (who also passed away since getting us open) he was probably one of the top marketing people for many years, so as you can see we are surrounded by angels, we had help and we had the right help. My Dad, my cousin Vinnie, my cousin Larry are with us everyday guiding us and supporting us.
We have the best customers, the most supportive customers, we have some extra help with 3 beautiful angels watching over us everyday. We are very proud of our reputation and servicing the thousands of guests that have become a member of our Barking Beauties Family.
Since we opened our 1st Grooming Salon in March 2015 in Elizabeth Township we have added a Grooming Salon in White Oak that opened August 2017 and recently opened a Grooming Salon in Finleyville June 2019 and have added a Grooming Salon in Monongahela July 2020. We now service and take care of over 19,000 precious fur babies and we plan to open additional locations over the next 2 to 3 years. We currently employee 26 of the areas best and most caring people including 9 certified groomers that can handle just about any grooming service that is requested.
If you have never been to one of our Grooming Salons, please allow your fur baby the opportunity to get spoiled by our team. We are open Tuesday through Saturday 8am to 6pm for your convenience, NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED.
From all us at Candelore's and especially my daughter and me, Thank You!
