Wienerschnitzel Business Overview

About Wienerschnitzel

Founded by John Galardi in 1961 with a single hot dog stand in Wilmington, Calif., Wienerschnitzel is one of the real pioneers of the quick-service food industry. Having successfully carved out a niche with hot dogs, The World’s Largest Hot Dog Chain serves more than 120 million hot dogs annually. Irvine, California-based Galardi Group, Inc., franchises 333 restaurants throughout 11 states including Wienerschnitzel, Hamburger Stand, and Tastee Freez.

An iconic American brand with a devoted following for over 55 years, the company recently introduced a next-generation restaurant design that combines a unique menu featuring chili dogs, chili cheese fries, corn dogs and Tastee-Freez soft-serve desserts with a smaller footprint and a lower cost of entry. As a family owned and operated company, Wienerschnitzel is growing franchisee profits and unit growth with vision and strategy for the future.
