## Key facts

- 4 locations planned in DFW area
- 2 new locations in San Antonio
- 3 new locations in new market in 2024

## Story

## Texas expansion plans

The gourmet hot dog, sausage and burger concept is joining the influx of West Coast residents and businesses setting up shop in Texas and will leave a delicious impact on the local culinary scene.

Dog Haus is opening a six-pack of its own in 2023, starting with the opening of its DFW location in Arlington before Memorial Day and another in Frisco. Two new restaurants are also slated to open in San Antonio along with additional outposts in the Austin and Houston areas, with each scheduled to open before the end of the fall.

## Development deals

Dawn and Josh Sipera inked a development deal that includes four restaurants in the DFW area, including the new Dog Haus Biergarten in Frisco. The Dallas residents will focus on the northern suburbs for their agreement, with Dog Haus still looking for franchise partners to finish out DFW development.

San Antonio is also getting two new locations this year with Dog Haus opening its third Biergarten on Potranco Road this summer. The absolute würst sausage maker is also setting up shop inside McIntyre’s, the popular indoor/outdoor bar, to offer San Antonio a fourth spot to get their Haus Dog or Haus Burger fix.

The partnership is one of Dog Haus’ collaborations, providing gourmet food options to McIntyre’s guest at its new North Star location while they enjoy a beer or cocktail at their table or lounge. This is the first time the hangout spot will offer dining as Dog Haus will provide the “grill” to McIntyre’s “bar.”

## Partnerships and growth

“Being able to partner with a Texas brand like McIntyre’s makes perfect sense for us,” said Hartung. “They’re known for being a great place to hang out and have a good time. We’re a good fit, so why not do it together?”

Dog Haus will wrap up its expansion this year with new restaurants in the Houston and Austin areas. The Missouri City location is scheduled to open this summer, while the Austin suburb of Cedar Park will debut later this fall.

The brand known for its creative monthly Sausage Series will break into a new market in 2024 with the closing of its most recent development deal with father-daughter team of Gregg Strasburger and Erin LeDoux . The agreement calls for three new Dog Haus locations in Central Texas, with restaurants in Waco, Temple and Killeen.
