The world's largest and most popular hot dog franchise, Wienerschnitzel, is coming to select Walmart stores in the United States! If you're a frequent Walmart shopper and enjoy stopping in their in-house food places for a bite to eat after a long shopping trip, you'll be pleased to find out that you can soon buy one of these delicious hot dogs in select locations.
Walmart is one of America's largest retail corporations and the dozens of grocery stores across the country have previously partnered with fast food chains like McDonald's, Subway, and Taco Bell. The Walmarts near me all have Subways inside them, making lunch an easy choice on shopping days.
This newest partnership will feature the opening of Wienerschnitzel restaurants in the following six Walmart locations by fall 2025.
- Puyallup, Washington
- Alamogordo, New Mexico
- Tempe, Arizona
- Reno, Nevada
- Colorado Springs, Colorado
- Bakersfield, California.
Sadly, it doesn't look like the east coast will be getting any yet, which makes sense since most of the franchise's locations are on the west coast or in the southern states like Texas.
The decision to partner with Walmart marks the next stage of growth for the franchise, with the intention to focus on "non-traditional growth." Hopefully that means we'll start getting Wienerschnitzels in more states! It would be nice to have some close to me.
Most importantly, the restaurants opening up inside the retail stores will include the full menu, so you'll be able to chow down on the company's iconic Junkyard Dog, Chili Cheese Dog, or Jalapeño Poppers.
For those unfamiliar with Wienerschnitzel, the franchise is all about highlighting classic American heritage with a variety of hot dogs, including their 11 signature staples. But they also have an excellent selection of sides and desserts, like their Tasty Freez and Chili Cheese Fries. Some of the dessert items include a Classic Banana Split, Soft Serve Cones, Ice Cream Sundaes, and Freezees in flavors like Oreo and Reese's.
And while the company is best known for their hot dogs, they also offer an assortment of other dishes like burgers and sandwiches. Select participating locations even have breakfast with Chili Cheese Egg Burritos, Hash Browns, Biscuit Sandwiches, and more!
They serve more than 120 million hot dogs each year, leading Wienerschnitzel to become the most beloved hot dog restaurant with a cult-like following of fans. They've even won Entrepreneur Magazine's award for having the top hot dog for seven years in a row.
