At 100 Nathan’s Continues to Expand

 


This year my mother turned 90 years old, she recently informed us that planning to travel back to Europe and one stop for sure will in France.  I informed her that Nathan's Famous, recently teamed with Tommy's Café to Bring its Hot Dogs to France.  She said, I’ll be there for a little comfort food. I bet she will not be alone doing that.  That my friends is how the power of a partnership can extend you brand invitation while driving new electricity throughout the brand.

So, Nathan's Famous, an American success with a tradition serving New York favorite Hot Dogs for more than 100 years, announced a new collaboration with Tommy's Diner, a 50's throwback American diner based in France, to offer its hot dogs in all locations across the country, making it the first time Nathan's Famous is served in France. This relationship continues Nathan's Famous growth in Europe and beyond.

"Nathan's Famous is known the world over, which is why we've had such great success in recent years growing in the Middle East, Asia, and Great Britain," states James Walker, Senior Vice President, Restaurants. "This new relationship with Tommy's is a big step for us as we look to see that growth spread throughout Europe, and we're excited that they are our first French outpost and will be one of the first internationally to have our foot-long hot dog."


Think brand relevance in an evolving world, that will edify brand value with relevance and new electricity. According to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®.  “Brand relevance is in part driven with innovation in new food products in combination with new avenues of distribution all of which are the platform for the new electricity.”  That said, what are you waiting for?

Johnson stated “that in my minds-eye the new electricity must be very efficient for the supply and includes such things as fresh foods, developing brands, unique urban clothing, grocerant positioning, fresh food messaging, autonomous delivery, cashier-less retail, plates, glasses, cash-less payments, digital hand-held marketing.

All retailers to survive the next generation of retail must embrace the artificial intelligence revolution while simultaneously embracing fresh food that is portable, fresh, with differentiation that is familiar not different. 

Nathan’s will attend Anuga, the leading global trade fair for the food and beverage industry, for the first time. Visitors of the show can find Nathan's Famous in Hall 9.1 at Stand B021, October 9 -13. Prior to Anuga, Nathan’s Famous will also attend Franchise Expo Paris from September 26-29 (Stand: V85) and the International Franchise Show London, October 1-2 (Stand: US09).



"We're excited to head to Cologne for the Anuga show as it's one of the largest trade fairs for the international food industry," continues Walker. "With so many vendors across a variety of product segments, we know it's the perfect fit for Nathan's Famous."
