Le Barkery, a living definition of “expendable income”, is thriving in Uptown. Our friends at Block Club Chicago put this store on our radar thanks to this story, which highlights the success of a dog bakery compared to the owner’s prior human-targeted bakeries. We don’t have any issue with the owner of this store, nor do we have any issues with people loving their pets, we’re just astounded that there is this big of a market to feed dogs luxury treats. They eat dirt, you know? They don’t need a cupcake.

How much do you spend on your pets every year? The conversation lives on Facebook!
