THE BRAND:
It's all about the branding and we have the perfect brand name store for you! Everywhere you go, millions of Americans greet each other with one of the most widely used phrases around, "What's Up Dog!" Randy Jackson on American Idol can be counted on to greet all the contestants with a "What's Up Dog!".
WHERE IT ALL STARTED:
Our vision became a reality when four long time friends, with a love for hot dogs, set out to open their very own gourmet grilled hot dog store in March of 2003, in a small concession trailer perfectly placed in one of San Francisco's historical gas station landmarks in the SOMA financial district and what better name to use than "What's Up Dog!"? The lines went down the block for months upon opening and people drove by screaming out of their windows "What's Up Dog!" and customers took pictures in from of the logo thinking it was the coolest concept they had ever seen. Hundreds of customers asked if we were franchised and how they could get one and it was only our first month opened.
EXPERIENCE:
- What's Up Dog! has been in business for over 6 years in hot dog fast food industry.
- Over 8 successful locations in the San Francisco Bay Area
- We have perfected the recipe for success and our brand fits with every demographic profile; Men, Women; Families with Children, Children of All Ages, Students, Blue and White Collar Workers, and Senior citizens. Who doesn't enjoy a quality hot dog?
ONLY THE BEST PRODUCTS:
In our search to ensure that we offer only the best frankfurters and sausages, we visited hundreds of hot dog stores from LA to New York. After many months of research and added pounds, we came up with a menu that includes our signature "What's Up Dog!" (New York Style Frankfurter), as well as ten gourmet sausages from the finest sausage makers in the US.
That's not all! We also wanted to bring back some old carnival favorites like the corn dog (made to order), chili/cheese nachos or fries, French fries, and garlic fries (made from scratch with our very own receipe.) The Customer Favorites consistent of the Chicago Style, Chili Cheese Dog, Pastrami Dog, The Frank and Beans, The Four Cheese, The Southern and many more!
We pride ourselves on our fast and courteous service, so please join us at one of our San Francisco locations and feel free to shout out "What's Up Dog!" as you drive or walk by one of our stores.
