Good news for shoppers! Walmart announces partnership with popular food chain across the U.S.
Walmart continues partnering with popular food chains. By fall 2025, the company will introduce a new brand to their stores across the United States.
The famous supermarket across America, Walmart is well-known for offering a wide range of products that it has just about everything you might need. With a decent price, shoppers prefer going to Walmart rather than a grocery store.
Walmart also caters for a quick bite, thanks to partnerships with food chains like McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Subway. Now, the retailer is adding another popular brand to its food lineup in six stores by fall 2025.
Walmart will introduce a new food chain by fall 2025 in the U.S.
According to The Street, Wienerschnitzel will be introduced into six Walmart stores by the fall of 2025. For people who are unfamiliar with the brand, Wienerschnitzel is famous for its chili cheese dogs, fries, sandwiches, and frozen treats.
Shak Turner, Wienerschitzel Director of Franchise Expansion, said: “Wienerschnitzel has spent decades building a strong reputation, especially on the West Coast, and this expansion into Walmart stores signifies a new growth for the brand”.
“It’s clear Wienerschnitzel’s unique concept fills a specific void for multi-brand franchisees looking to grow their portfolios, which is one of the elements that attracted me to the brand initially,” she added to PR Newswire. “I’m thrilled to join this amazing team and play a part in spearheading initiatives and new partnerships, which will no doubt catapult the brand to new markets.”
The hot dog chain will open restaurant locations in Walmart across six states. Here are the stores:
- Alamogordo, New Mexico
- Bakersfield, California
- Colorado Springs, Colorado
- Reno, Nevada
- Tempe, Arizona
- Puyallup, Washington
What is Wienenerschnitzel?
Founded by John Galardi in 1961 with a single location in southern California, Wienerschinitzel is one of the iconic pioneers of the quick-service food industry. The company has grown to be the world's largest hog dog chain, serving more than 120 hot dogs a year.
Now, the company has 340 franchised Wienerschinitzel locations in operation throughout 13 states and more than 50 units in various stages of development across the United States.
The Wienerschitzel locations inside these six Walmart stores will feature the brand's full menu, including iconic items like the Chili cheese dog, Junkyard dog, chili cheese fries, jalapeño poppers and tastee freez soft serve desserts.
“These non-traditional formats allow us to modernize our footprint, bring our iconic flavors to new audiences, and reinforce the brand’s relevance in today’s evolving retail and dining landscape,” Wienerschnitzel Director of Franchise Development Ted Milburn said.
Walmart has previously experimented with new in-store restaurant concepts. According to Alabama Local News, Wamart teamed up with Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar at stores across the country. Poke is a Hawaiian dish that refers to slices or cubes of raw fish served atop rice, dressing, vegetables and seasonings.
