What NATHANS FAMOUS INC does
Nathan's Famous is a branded licensor, wholesaler, and retailer of products marketed under the Nathan's Famous brand, including its signature Nathan's World Famous Beef Hot Dogs and crinkle-cut French fries. The company operates across four primary channels: a licensing program (royalties from packaged products sold by third parties in supermarkets and club stores like Walmart, Costco, and Kroger); a branded product program (selling hot dog products directly to foodservice operators); company-owned quick-service restaurants; and franchised restaurant operations plus virtual kitchens. The company also owns the Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips brand, used as a menu line extension in select locations and third-party delivery platforms.
