Why the Midwest? Why Now?
It’s no secret that Americans love hot dogs. The National Hot Dog & Sausage Council reports that Americans eat 20 billion hot dogs a year – or about 70 hot dogs per person.
Wienerschnitzel has experienced a dramatic uptick in sales, with many of our franchise owners reporting their best years ever in business.
The reason for our sales increases are simple. By appealing to Americans’ love of hot dogs and soft serve ice cream, we offer a menu that is unlike any other in the QSR segment in terms of taste, price-point and convenience. Our restaurants are designed to meet the customers where they are. Whether it’s dine-in, drive-thru, pickup, or mobile delivery, by streamlining operations and focusing on simplicity, Wienerschnitzel franchise owners are thriving.
