Wiener King is a hot dog restaurant located in Mansfield, Ohio. Wiener King was formerly a franchise, but has since closed all but one of their restaurants.[1] The chain was founded in 1970 by Ronald Howard, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Wiener King was once one of the fastest growing restaurants in the United States.
History
Founding
In 1970, Ronald Howard, a former plumber from Birmingham, Alabama, formed the Wiener King franchise. Howard had moved to Charlotte in 1968, to take over a local franchise called Pasquale's Pizza. He was quickly able to grow the restaurant from 1 to 18 locations.[1] However he wanted something of his own.
"I think before the hamburger came along, the hot dog was the most popular product the American public ever ate."
Ronald Howard, The Charlotte News, 1972
