Open Markets and Franchise Models
Wienerschnitzel, the Iconic Hot Dog franchise, is ready for expansion
Wienerschnitzel is ready for the national spotlight. Since 1961, Wienerschnitzel has become a part of the fabric of Southern California where our brand was founded. In that time, Wienerschnitzel has won millions of fans, and as a result of a proven business model and a culture of exceptional franchise support, we’ve also become the world’s largest hot dog franchise.
With more than 325 locations in ten states, Wienerschnitzel is on the move. We’re ramping up franchise development efforts to strengthen our significant footprint in the Southwest, as well as growing the brand into new markets.

“After a couple of amazing years, there’s no question that our brand has a ton of momentum going into 2023,” says Ted Milburn, Director of Franchise Development with Wienerschnitzel. “We’ve recently signed multi-unit deals in Colorado Springs, Omaha, Nebraska and Boise, Idaho, which are all new markets we are excited about. We’ve also opened up new Midwest states for store development. By focusing on what is a compelling story for entrepreneurs — and by growing our brand the right way with the right people, Wienerschnitzel is hitting its stride with the right momentum for new franchise development. There’s a lot of open territory available in prime markets, and a lot of opportunity for entrepreneurs to thrive with an iconic brand.”
If you’ve been to Southern California, you have probably seen our iconic A-Frame restaurants, with the famous slanted roofs and sunny red and yellow colors. While we’ve evolved our restaurant models far beyond what we built 60-years ago, Wienerschnitzel has developed brand new restaurant standards that are designed to help franchisees take advantage of prime real estate in their communities.
We offer three unique business models to help entrepreneurs capitalize on the best real estate opportunities in their markets. What unites our restaurant models is that they are all designed to be cost-effective and maximize profitability, working to reduce labor and food costs, while delivering a fast, efficient, and exceptional service experience for our customers.
