Eugene Restaurant Group plans to open 20 additional franchise locations throughout the greater Shanghai area.

“Hot Dog on a Stick is a pop culture phenomenon and the sunny concept with our famous striped uniforms and portable food items really resonates with the modern Chinese lifestyle,” said Chris Dull, President and CEO of GFG. “Global Franchise Group is proud to take this California-born brand across the Pacific and we are confident that this will be a very popular dining destination in Shanghai.”

Hot Dog on a Stick at Crystal Galleria in Shanghai is located in a bustling tourist and office retail area and offers the brand’s signature line-up of fresh hand-stomped lemonade in a variety of flavors, made-to-order stick items dipped in the brand’s proprietary Party Batter and fries. Hot Dog on a Stick in Shanghai offers a special food challenge for guests with big appetites – if a customer consumes 10 stick items of their choice and a large portion of fries within 8 minutes, their meal will be free.

Hot Dog on a Stick Shanghai is open during regular Crystal Galleria hours of 10 A.M to 10 P.M. The official address is 68 Yuyuan Rd, Jingan Qu, Shanghai, China.

“I’ve been a fan of it since my childhood in the U.S. and decided to open a location in China because I truly missed the food,” said Eugene Mao, Master Franchisee of Hot Dog on a Stick in China. “I love serving the delicious lemonade and stick items to our customers and I believe the local population in Shanghai will love it as much as I do. Our products are simply the best.”
