Business Beat: Lume Asian Fusion and Bark + Boarding Open Doors in City of Manassas
Lume Asian Fusion
Bark + Boarding
Bark + Boarding is the City’s newest business to offer doggie daycare, boarding, full-service dog grooming, and positive reinforcement dog training.
Operating in the 9,000 SF building belonging to the former Waggin’ Tails Junction, Manassas is now the business’ second location in the DMV region. Bark + Boarding established its first operation in Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia in 1999.
When we asked Bark + Boarding what initially drew them to the Manassas market, Marketing Manager Amy Duff said the location, client base, and permitting process made the decision easy. She commented, “We had been looking around for the right spot to open our second location for quite some time. We were worried about the process at first, having tried to open several other locations over the years and facing uphill battles with permitting etc., but dealing with you all at Manassas City was SO quick and easy!”
Learn more about Bark + Boarding at their website and Facebook, and check out the facility in person during their July 30, 2 PM Ribbon Cutting at 10035 Dean Drive!

City of Manassas Joins NOVA EDA at SelectUSA Summit
“The United States is the country where you can innovate your business model faster than anywhere else.” – Mr. Aamir Paul, President of North America Operations, Schneider Electric
In late June, City of Manassas Economic Development partnered with Northern Virginia Economic Development Alliance for the 10th annual SelectUSA Summit in National Harbor, Maryland. On June 25th, the Alliance organized a well-attended Tech Showcase Reception in Old Town, Alexandria. About 160 attendees from the Summit’s 80+ represented international markets expressed interest in learning more about Northern Virginia’s business and investment opportunities.
Virginia currently holds the prestigious claim as number one state for business and top producer of tech talent in the nation. With three fourths of the DC metro’s Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Northern Virginia, our region has emerged as a hub for technology entrepreneurship and employment.
We are grateful for the City’s many innovative firms, as well as our “Big 3” employers – Micron, BAE, and Lockheed Martin – who play no small part in Northern Virginia’s appeal and reputation.
