Meet Jack Kennedy

Founded in 1977 by the devoted dog enthusiast, Jack Kennedy, The Continental Shoppe started as a unique "dog barbershop" in Roslindale. Jack introduced an innovative van pickup and drop-off service that quickly endeared itself to the local community.

Jack's unwavering commitment and passion for dogs continued to shine throughout the years. Following his passing in May 2023, his daughter, Lauren, took up the lead, ensuring the legacy of The Continental Shoppe endures.

Today, The Continental Shoppe stands as a testament to care, dedication, and community in West Roxbury, embodying the spirit of its founder, Jack Kennedy.
