BOSTON/EWORLDWIRE/June 11, 2003 --- Doggie Day, Inc., a Boston-based pet care service provider, today announced the formation of DoggieDay Franchise Corporation to expand its Boston and San Francisco-based operations nationwide. DoggieDay Inc. also announced the addition of David Cooperstein, former director of retail research at Forrester Research, to the company as Vice President, Franchise Development.

David Cooperstein joins DoggieDay after six years at Forrester Research, where he led the development of long range strategic research that defined and predicted the course of multi-channel retailing as eCommerce technology and online sales became critical business issues.
As Director of Retail Research, he advised Fortune 500 corporations on how to take advantage of Internet, customer management, and networking technologies to aid their business strategies. Additionally, his analyses of the telecommunications sector in the late 1990s predicted many of the themes that have since come true, such as the current bandwidth glut and the slow acceptance of wireless data.
