Famous Uncle Al’s Hot Dogs & Grille, Inc. owns the exclusive worldwide rights to franchise Famous Uncle Al’s Hot Dogs & Grille restaurants. The original Famous Uncle Al’s restaurant was opened in 1985 and then expanded throughout the Virginia Beach area. Today Famous Uncle Al’s Hot Dogs & Grille restaurants are available for franchise in most of the U.S. The company has franchised restaurants operating in Virginia, Florida, Connecticut and Nevada and plans to expand in other areas.
Al, the founder of the restaurant grew up in Brooklyn where good food is a tradition and eating hot dogs is a competitive sport! Al started eating hot dogs at the world famous Coney Island and then started selling and grilling hot dogs when he was 10 years old at his grandparents’ boardwalk stand in Far Rockaway, N.Y.
Today Famous Uncle Al’s is thinking about expansion. In order to do this the company has developed a three-pronged growth strategy plan which is to gain access to capital, bring industry professionals into its management team and deliver its story to the investment community. To implement these objectives, Famous Uncle Al’s has incorporated into its management team significant persons in each of the “goal” sectors.
The Company has retained John Kolaj, co-founder of Famous Famiglia Pizza, who has more than thirty years of hands-on experience in the foodservice industry. Other members of the management team include CEO Paul Esposito, President Dean Valentino and Director of Marketing Richard Michael.
In recent development the company has opened a new franchise in West Haven Connecticut. You can also stop by booth 524 at the annual World Money Show in Orlando, Florida as the company will be among the many exhibitors. The show will be held on February 6-9, 2008 at the Gaylord Palms Hotel.
