Dog Haus, the gourmet hot dog concept from Southern California, announced its first out-of-state franchise in Utah, with locations slated to open in Provo as soon as January 2014, followed by locations in Salt Lake City and Orem.

“We knew Josh and Sue Bushnell shared our brand’s enthusiasm when they insisted on flying all the way out to Pasadena to try our hot dogs, burgers, and sausages,” says Dog Haus partner André Vener. “They’re the perfect ambassadors to bring Dog Haus’ unique creations to the state of Utah.”

“We are very excited to bring Dog Haus to Utah and be the first out-of-state franchise,” Josh Bushnell adds. “After meeting partners André, Quasim, and Hagop, we knew we found one of the most creative and innovative teams in the food business.”

With 7 franchisees and 36 locations in place, the team at Dog Haus continues to consider franchise offers for underserved hot dog markets.
