Pasadena, California-based Dog Haus is kicking off 2022 by getting ready to bring its hot dogs, sausages and burgers to communities across Florida.
Through an agreement with Franchisee Jesse Koontz, Dog Haus will open stores in Clearwater, Saint Petersburg, Sarasota and Fort Myers. Koontz has four Dog Hauses in Illinois, in addition to the licenses for the Live Nation venue in Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island.
"We're thrilled for Jesse to introduce Dog Haus to the great state of Florida," Dog Haus Director of Franchise Development Erik Hartung, said in a company press release. "He's been a phenomenal success story and operates one of our top performing locations. He was recently named our 2021 Franchisee of the Year and serves as an incredible ambassador for the brand, so I can't wait to see him hit the ground running in these new markets."
Dog Haus has over 50 restaurants open nationwide with over a dozen in development.
