Locally-Founded Gourmet Hot Dog Chain Looks to Expand Nationwide Footprint by 50% in 2022

Dog Haus, an award-winning gourmet hot dog fast food chain founded by longtime friends Hagop Giragossian, Quasim Riaz and André Vener in Pasadena in 2010, is racing into 2022 at full speed with plans for substantial growth.

Nearly 20 restaurants are currently under construction or in the pipeline – including new locations in Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, Washington and Wisconsin.

Dog Haus also plans to grow its virtual kitchen presence through alliances with Kitchen United and CloudKitchens. By the end of 2022, the brand’s partnership with Live Nation concert venues is projected to double its nationwide footprint.

The company said it expects to jump from 51 current locations to more than 75 in 2022.

“We’ve leaned on the best in the business, from our own resident Würstmacher Adam Gertler to some of the most exceptional chefs in America, to create a menu that is like no other,” Pasadenan André Vener said.

“Not to be overlooked, our bar program is truly remarkable, far outpacing what most fast-casual brands can offer. It’s why so many other leading brands want to partner with us, and that makes us really proud. Heading into 2022, there’s every reason to believe that it will be a truly spectacular year and there’s no doubt that our würst is still to come.”
