Nathan's Famous
began as a nickel
hot dog stand in
Coney Island in 1916
and grew to become
the much-loved New
York institution now
available throughout
the United States
and overseas.
For the majority of
its 85 years,
Nathan's focused
on the sale of its
products through
fast-food
restaurants.
Recently, however,
the company has
implemented an
aggressive strategy
to expand the reach
of its brand by
diversifying product
offerings and
adopting an
expanding
points-of-distribution
program.
Nathan's Parent
Company, Nathan's
Famous, Inc.
also owns Miami
Subs, Arthur
Treacher's and Kenny
Rogers Roasters.
