Dog Haus is expanding into Louisiana, thanks to an agreement with the father-daughter team of Gregg Strasburger and Erin LeDoux to open three locations.

The duo, which also owns three units under development in Texas, is bringing a little extra Louisiana flavor with the help of LeDoux's husband, Lake Charles native Matt LeDoux, whose Cajun culinary roots from Baton Rouge are helping shape the venture. The team is also expanding across Texas, with three locations underway, working alongside retired Chick-fil-A franchise operator Steven Vinson out of DFW.

"Dog Haus isn't just another restaurant — it's a place to unwind, watch the game, and enjoy great food and drinks," LeDoux said in a company press release. "Whether you're meeting up with friends or stopping in on your own, it offers a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. With family ties in Louisiana, expanding Dog Haus here feels like a meaningful next step."

The first Louisiana location will open in the spring of 2026, with the remaining two following soon after.

Dog Haus was founded in 2010 in Pasadena, California, and has over 50 locations.
