Weinerschnitzel signs 32-unit deal for Houston

November 16, 2016

Wienerschnitzel today says it's signed a development agreement to open 32 restaurants in and around the Houston area. Houston Wieners LLC, which now operates three flagship stores of its own, will lead the expansion, which a news release said will significantly grow Wienerschnitzel's Texas footprint. The first restaurant will open next year.
 
"As a family owned company, we aligned with Wienerschnitzel's ideals and were impressed with the brand's continued sales growth and proven operations model that will allow us to thrive in this market," said Sunny Punjani, Houston Wieners managing partner. "Our objective is to make Wienerschnitzel a household name in Houston and we are excited to recruit like-minded entrepreneurs to succeed with us. We entered this long-term partnership with Wienerschnitzel for many reasons, and believe that this business decision will continue to benefit our families for generations to come."
 
The expansion will be built out over 15 years with the current three flagship stores serving as training facilities. Under this agreement, Wienerschnitzel's parent company, Galardi Group Inc., is providing initial hands-on training, local real estate, construction and ongoing field support to help new franchisees thrive in the market.
 
"Wienerschnitzel is coming to Houston in a big way and we're confident the passion and experience of Houston Wieners will drive this area development model to be a great success," said the chain's Franchise Development Director Ted Milburn. "Our Texas stores continue to exceed expectations, proving that there is a real demand in the region for what Wienerschnitzel provides.  

"We are a unique and compelling QSR business option that differentiates itself in a crowded segment. Wienerschnitzel's six consecutive year-over-year sales growth attests that our brand evolution efforts are strongly resonating with both guests and franchisees alike, and there has never been a better time to invest with the brand."
