Construction materials have recently started appearing on the empty piece of land immediately behind the iconic ‘Bull’ statue at the entrance to Wiregrass Ranch High. These concrete blocks, pieces of steel, pipes and other materials will soon be assembled into a new Bay Paws Pet Resort location, designed to take care of your furry loved ones.
Located south of S.R. 56, on Mansfield Blvd. (where it meets up with Hueland Pond Blvd. and the Wiregrass School Rd.), just south of the 7-Eleven convenience store and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, the new pet resort will be very convenient, given its direct proximity to the thousands of existing homes in The Ridge at Wiregrass and numerous nearby Meadow Pointe neighborhoods.
The Bay Paws facility will be large, offering 15,000 sq. ft. of interior space and an additional 17,375 of a fenced-in, “outdoor turf group play area.” The company’s website states, “All boarding suites and daycare play areas are equipped with cameras accessible through our client portal.”
Bay Paws is no stranger to the Tampa Bay area, with two established locations, — one in Clearwater and the other in Ybor City — both of which are averaging 4.7 out of 5 stars, on more than a thousand Google reviews.
A fourth Bay Paws location, where the building is now finished, will be opening soon in Trinity, between S.R. 54 and Trinity Blvd., which will be a “luxury pet resort offering boarding, daycare and grooming services,” according to its Google landing page.
The southeast corner of Mansfield and Heuland Pond Blvds. (see map) has seen quite a bit of commercial growth recently, first with the 7-Eleven, followed by the recent completion of the commercial strip plaza anchored by Enterprise, and the start of the Pet Resort, as well as a future Ziggi’s Coffee shop (with a drive-through) on the parcel next to Enterprise (construction has not yet begun).
Ziggi’s, which was founded in Colorado in 2004, today has 85+ locations open and more than 250 in development across the U.S.
