- Overview
The Rusty Dog - Franchise
The Rusty Dog – "America's Corndog" is Now Franchising!
Founded in 2015 by the Greiner family of Boise, Idaho, The Rusty Dog – "America's Corndog" has begun the national franchise development of its state fair-themed food trucks with a home made delicious product, a super-clean image, low start-up costs, and a 100% social distancing-friendly business model.
Though the "golden age of food trucks" has brought many unique concepts to the industry, people tend to gravitate towards food that they're comfortable with. Preparing our corn dogs and fries also takes very little cooking experience, so anyone can succeed, and no employees are required.
Under the banner, "We Bring the Fair to You". Our owners strive to re-kindle the memories of quality family and fun times that hold a special place in the hearts of Americans – if only for one cherished moment – and to create new great memories with the award-winning food that we serve.
Our custom-designed 18-foot catering trailers make it easier to prepare and sell the most fresh corndogs and fries at the fastest pace possible, while our low flat monthly royalty allows you to access all of our professionally-created marketing materials, website, operating system, and accounting platform.
We believe in "guidance without overbearance". We're here to help you profit, grow, and expand, every step of the way; but our founders started their business to give them the freedom to make their own decisions, and we want to ensure that you enjoy that same freedom as well.
The Rusty Dog brings everything you need to the table to become a successful food truck owner, and simplifies the process of making a great living in this most unique environment and economy that we're all experiencing. For more information, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!
