Father-daughter bringing Dog Haus to Texas

July 18, 2023

Pasadena, California-based Dog Haus is expanding into Central Texas via an area development agreement with father-daughter Erin Ledoux and Gregg Strasburger. They will open three Dog Haus Biergarten restaurants in the Waco area.

"I've always enjoyed my work in the food and beverage industry, and certainly have a love for sharing it," Ledoux said in a company press release. "I love running a restaurant because it allows me to be involved in the community and I love being able to bring joy to people."

Ledoux and her husband, Matt, will primarily oversee the day-to-day operations of the restaurants, while Strasburger will focus on the scope of the ADA and the other components of the business. Strasburger owns and operates a manufacturing company that sells supplies primarily to agricultural and industrial corporations. Ledoux serves as the company's head of marketing and business development, while also serving as a CPA for a local accounting firm.

"I thought this would be a great opportunity for us," Strasburger said in the release. "I saw the collaboration Dog Haus had with Sam the Cooking Guy for the Mr. Miyagi Dog and told Erin, 'We've got to work with these guys!' Dog Haus is fun, has personality, and is always looking to give back — it's the perfect brand for us."
