Walmart bringing popular new food chain into its stores

Folks tend to appreciate Walmart because it has just about everything you might need, and it typically has it a decent price.

And if you are looking for a bite to eat while you do your shopping, Walmart typically has you covered there, too. The retailer has forged partnerships in the past with food chains such as McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Subway, Burger King and even Domino’s.

And now a new detail will bring another popular restaurant into the Walmart food.

According to reports, Wienerschnitzel is being introduced into six Walmart stores by the fall of 2025. For folks who are not familiar with Wienerschnitzel, the chain is known for its chili cheese dogs, fries, sandwiches and frozen treats.

“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,” Wienerschnitzel Director of Franchise Expansion Shak Turner said.

“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. “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 bad news for Pennsylvania folks who like a good hotdog is that none of the new openings will occur in the Keystone State. But if the partnership goes well … who knows?

“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. “Growing inside these Walmart locations significantly expands our reach and opens the door for franchisees to tap into high-traffic locations with built-in demand.”
