Retail partners are the name of the game in this business—even for those predominantly in the foodservice sector—and landing one as massive as Walmart is the ultimate prize. For Crave Hot Dogs & BBQ, this is now a reality, as the company announced its expansion into Walmart stores throughout the United States.
"We couldn't be more excited to introduce this model nationally. There are many markets we have interest in, and open to have over 100 units within Walmart locations nationwide over the next year,” Samantha Rincione, Chief Executive Officer, remarked. “We are strategically aligning ourselves for national expansion across the United States."
According to a press release, Crave features delicious hot dogs with versatile build-outs such as nacho dogs or chili cheese dogs. The company also offers smoked brisket, pulled chicken, and pulled pork dishes, as well as bowls and meals.
The chain’s Express models will have a fun breakfast menu. They’re designed for fast-casual dining, making it easier than ever for customers to enjoy their favorite meals while shopping.
As the company explained, Crave feels that Walmart is aligned with its mission to bring its unique menu to more people in convenient locations.
How will this partnership benefit both Crave and Walmart? Deli Market News will be watching.
