Nathan’s Famous: The World’s Most Famous Hotdog

Hotdogs remain to be the specialty of Nathan’s Famous, an American company that operates a chain of fast food restaurants. This publicly traded company has its stocks traded on the NASDAQ, under the ticker symbol NATH.

For almost 100 years now, the company has served millions of Americans with their famous hotdogs that come with different sizes, tastes and toppings. From a very small nickel hot dog stand on Coney Island, the company has evolved into a multi-million venture. With a global presence, Nathan’s is now considered as the world’s most famous hot dog. From their restaurants, the hot dogs of Nathan’s have entered the international markets through the retail and food service businesses that market their products.

Starting out in 1916 with a $300 loan and their famous secret ingredient, Nathan has grown into a network of fast food chain whose products are also sold through their network of more than 50,000 locations in the United States alone.
