The World's Most Wanted Weiner — the kind dipped in cornmeal batter and deep fried
— is going retail.
Wienerschnitzel has announced that its popular corn dogs are now available at more than 500 grocery stores across California and Nevada, marking the first time in the company's 50-year-plus history that the product is available outside its iconic restaurants.
Customers can find the chain's original corn dogs and chili cheese-flavored corn dogs in the frozen food section at Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Albertsons, and Vons. The chili cheese-flavored corn dogs are a retail exclusive.
The world's largest hot dog chain partnered with Golden West Food Group to make it happen, thanks to its reputation "for bringing a taste of some of the most iconic brands to grocers through its innovative product development and premium manufacturing," according to a press release.
“Our corn dogs are perfect for a meal or quick snack, and we’re excited to partner with Albertsons and Save Mart Brands to give people a first taste of them at retail,” Doug Koegeboehn, Wienerschnitzel's Chief Marketing Officer, said in a statement.
Wienerschnitzel was founded in 1961. John Galardi started the chain with a single hot dog stand in 1961 in Wilmington, California. The brand expanded to unimaginable heights, ultimately resulting in the chain selling over 120 million hot dogs annually.
It's not the first time Wienerschnitzel has made some of its fan-favorite products available at grocery stores, in a sense.

Earlier this year, the company announced the launch of six new franchise-operated restaurants this fall inside Walmart stores in New Mexico, California, Colorado, Washington, Nevada, and Arizona.
And while in-store dining is a new twist for both brands, nothing screams "Der fun" like buying Wienerschnitzel's mouth-watering corn dogs in the frozen food section so you can enjoy them when the mood strikes at home.
