"A Missouri coffee shop and dog‑park concept that includes a Western‑themed mini city for children, this business combined food and drink service with retail trinkets (notably insulated tumblers), EV charging stations, and play areas. Its branding featured curved lettering and a cartoon dog logo, and a now‑deleted website section reportedly acknowledged inspiration from the Texas chain and described plans for a “playful nod” involving billboards along I‑44 with “a sign using a dog and a beaver.” The location is listed as temporarily closed on Google Maps and is the defendant in a March 19, 2025 trademark lawsuit alleging willful infringement, bad faith trading on the larger brand’s recognition, and customer confusion; the filing seeks a jury trial but does not specify a monetary damage amount." - Courtney E.
