Dog Haus, known for its gourmet hot dogs, sausages and burgers, is expanding this summer to Barboursville, West Virginia, according to a company press release.

"This is my first location with the Dog Haus brand and I couldn't be more excited to open it with my daughter, Carissa," Franchisee Vicki Marshall said in the release. "We were instantly impressed with Dog Haus. Its premium-quality, one-of-a-kind food, company culture, teams and franchise support are second-to-none. There really isn't anything like Dog Haus and we can't wait to introduce all that it has to offer to West Virginia."

The 3,300-square-foot restaurant will feature a pickup window, open-air garage doors and a full bar with 24 beers on tap, emphasizing local craft favorites. It will also serve the brand's signature Haus Cocktails — handcrafted by Phil Wills as seen on the television show, "Bar Rescue."

"We've been planning on bringing Dog Haus to West Virginia for a while, and there's no better place for it to make its debut than in Barboursville," said Franchisee Carissa Marshall. "My mom is an incredible business owner with experience franchising dozens of Little Caesars prior to Dog Haus. I'm excited to be making this huge Dog Haus debut with her by my side. Our next step will be to hire 50 team members to join us in becoming an integral part of this vibrant community."

Founded by longtime friends Hagop Giragossian, Quasim Riaz and André Vener, the first Dog Haus opened in 2010 in Pasadena, California.
