Wienerschnitzel

From opening his first hot dog stand in 1961 to growing his business to over three hundred restaurants nationwide, John Galardi wholeheartedly shared each new success with his loved ones, his friends, and the many people who helped him realize his vision. His journey to achieve the American dream shows his struggles and triumphs, his disappointments and determination, and the hard work and imagination required to build the world's largest hot dog chain.

Fueled by love for his family and a drive to succeed, John Galardi turned an extraordinary idea into a lasting legacy, which he then passed to his son, along with his work ethic, his business savvy, and his knack for truly knowing people. Join JR Galardi as he not only follows in his father's footsteps, but forges ahead to usher Wienerschnitzel into a new era of sleeker marketing, firmer franchises, and outstanding philanthropy.
