“This new relationship with Tommy’s is a big step for us as we look to see that growth spread throughout Europe, and we’re excited that they are our first French outpost and will be one of the first internationally to have our foot-long hot dog.”

Nathan’s Famous is also looking forward to attending Anuga, a leading global trade fair for the food and beverage industry. Visitors of the show can find Nathan’s Famous in hall 9.1 at stand B021, October 9 –13.
