## Story

After 60 years in operation, the U.S. restaurant brand is ready to expand overseas

After 60 years in operation, the U.S. restaurant brand is ready to expand overseas.

Wienerschnitzel , the U.S. hot dog franchise with more than 300 locations across the States, is ready to expand its business internationally and is looking for experienced partners to take the brand global.

“In a world filled with hamburgers, pizza, and chicken options – the hot dog is a unique and tasty choice,” says Werner Glass, head of international franchise development for Wienerschnitzel.

“Hot dogs are a universally loved food, and owning a Wienerschnitzel franchise offers a highly differentiated business in an already crowded market.”

Founded in 1961 by John Galardi in Southern California, Wienerschnitzel has since grown to serve over 120 million hot dogs every year. The organization is currently based in Irvine, California, and is part of the Galardi Group – the parent company of Hamburger Stand and Tastee-Freez LLC.
