Includes $500m in investment and the opening of more than 300 new locations Dog Haus partners with American Development Partners in $500m franchise development deal
ASADENA, CA —Dog Haus, the celebrated Pasadena, CA based gourmet hot dog, sausage and burger concept, has announced a development agreement with American Develop- ment Partners which will in- clude the construction of over 300 new Dog Haus franchise locations in 12 states over the next seven years, making it one of the fastest growing food concepts in the United States. The new locations are slated to be constructed on land pri- marily purchased for “built to suit” and stand-alone Dog Haus Biergarten concepts, and will be operated by veter- an franchisees with extensive multi-unit and multi-brand experience. The deal - which is American Development Partners’ biggest commitment to date – has a projected real estate, construction and de- sign investment value of over $500 million. Dog Haus currently has 21 stores open in five states (Ari- zona, California, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah) which will now grow to 19 states across the country with stores set to open in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michi- gan, Ohio, New York, Penn- sylvania, Texas, Tennessee, and Wyoming. With this deal, the total number of Dog Haus locations across the country, including previous franchises sold, will now total over 450 - with 10 out of the 19 states - 20% of the country - now sold out. “Since opening the first Dog Haus in Pasadena, CA six years ago, we’ve been tire- lessly committed to working closely with our franchisees to create an unparalleled dining experience for our guests at each and every Dog Haus loca- tion,” said Dog Haus partner André Vener, who co-founded the concept with friends and fellow partners Hagop Gira- gossian and Quasim Riaz in 2010. As Riaz further elabo- rates, “We couldn’t be more excited to join forces with American Development Part- ners and continue raising the Dog Haus experience to new heights across the country.” Giragossian, Riaz and Vener initially made the decision to franchise Dog Haus in 2013, a decision that quickly precipitated a dramatic pe- riod of growth for the brand, originally conceptualized to P
elevate the humble hot dog, sausage and burger for the adult palate. “In addition to their vision, leadership and integrity, Dog Haus is an industry leader in food quality and has a proven track record of producing above average sales,” said Caleb McMillen , COO of American Development Part- ners. “Combined with their exceptional marketing appeal, we’re looking forward to work- ing with many experienced franchisees to help expand the brand into 12 states across the country and filling a void in a restaurant sector that we feel
