Wienerschnitzel Sizzles With New Openings and Strategic Growth
Expanding America’s Favorite Hot Dog Franchise Across New and Developed Markets
For over six decades, Wienerschnitzel has been delighting hot dog enthusiasts across the nation, earning its status as the world’s largest hot dog franchise. Today, the brand is doubling down on its strategic growth strategy, making waves in key markets west of the Mississippi. With a focus on expanding into untapped regions, Wienerschnitzel continues to solidify its place as the #1 hot dog franchise, beloved by customers and franchisees alike.
Growth Tailored to Opportunities
Wienerschnitzel’s steady development is fueled by the brand’s dedication to streamlined operations, less labor requirements, and extremely low food costs. By identifying regions primed for its delicious offerings, Wienerschnitzel provides multi-unit operators with a rare chance to diversify their restaurant portfolios with a concept that won’t compete with their current operations.
From Texas to Washington, to California and Nebraska, Wienerschnitzel is bringing its famous chili cheese dogs, fries, and Tastee Freez desserts to enthusiastic new audiences while creating opportunities for seasoned franchisees. The brand’s recent openings in these states underscore a new era of growth led by seasoned multi-unit operators.
A Legacy of Local Success
Texas: The Lone Star State is proving to be a hub of growth for Wienerschnitzel. Recent new openings in Horizon City, Pharr, Brownsville and San Antonio demonstrate the franchise’s ability to tap into diverse markets. Additional new openings in Waco, Houston and the Rio Grande are scheduled for mid-2025.
Colorado: Fountain, a thriving community south of Colorado Springs, recently welcomed its first Wienerschnitzel location. The expansion was their second restaurant, spearheaded by seasoned franchisees, who bring decades of multi-brand operational experience. Stores #3 and #4 are already underway in development in 2025 with this group.
Nebraska: The brand is making its mark in the Midwest with its first Nebraska location. The doors opened in Omaha in January, situated near bustling community hubs. This Wienerschnitzel is led by a native Omaha husband and wife duo, who have two more restaurants in the cue.
California: As Wienerschnitzel’s home state, California remains a cornerstone of its success. With over 200 locations statewide, the brand continues to flourish, most recently expanding into Rocklin and Chino, with Corona and Barstow on-tap in 2025.
