Hounds Town USA Celebrates Grand Opening of Its First Pensacola Location

March 30, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // PENSACOLA, Fla.— Hounds Town USA celebrated the grand opening of its first location in Pensacola.

Hounds Town Pensacola hosted its official grand opening on March 20 and featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony in partnership with the local Chamber of Commerce, along with local vendors and plenty of dog-friendly excitement. New customers can enjoy a free week of doggy daycare, while current customers who purchase a package will receive a complimentary Townie Bath or Townie Deluxe Bath.

Hounds Town Pensacola is owned and operated by Derrick and Renee Drinnon, passionate pet lovers and experienced professionals. Renee brings a background in human resources and customer service, while Derrick has more than 30 years of experience in Animal Health sales, and marketing leadership. Together, they both bring a shared love and passion for dogs. As lifelong animal enthusiasts, the Drinnons were drawn to Hounds Town USA for its people, energy, and structured support, knowing it was the perfect fit for their first business venture.

“This has been an exciting journey, and we’re proud to celebrate and continue welcoming dogs from across the Pensacola community,” said Derrick Drinnon, co-owner of Hounds Town Pensacola. “Seeing pups thrive in our space and families experience Hounds Town is incredibly rewarding. We look forward to celebrating our grand opening and building lasting relationships with local pet parents.”

Founded by a former NYPD canine handler and commanding officer of the Nassau County Police Department, Hounds Town was built on a deep understanding of canine psychology and behavior. That legacy lives on today in nearly 100 locations, where dogs enjoy all-day play in safe, supervised groups matched by size and temperament. The result is a mentally and physically stimulating environment that ends in the signature Hounds Town Hangover—a tired, happy pup at the end of each day.

In addition to offering interactive daycare, overnight boarding, and spa services, Hounds Town Pensacola also features the brand’s signature “Hounds Town Seal of Approval” program, which gives local shelter dogs access to free daycare and socialization to improve their adoptability. The Drinnon’s are passionate about giving back to the community and plan to partner with local rescue groups and shelters to host adoption events and provide ongoing support for dogs in need.

Hounds Town’s expansion is fueled by a simple but powerful promise: to let dogs be dogs. With no breed or size restrictions, a natural pack play model, and expert-led care designed around how dogs actually think and behave, the brand continues to earn the loyalty of dog parents and the enthusiasm of entrepreneurs.
