Lobster Dogs Franchise

Let me start by introducing myself, My name is Chris Yelton, I am the founder & CEO of Lobster Dogs! I have been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years. In 2015, I saw the booming market of Food Trucks and knew that I had to get involved in this fast growing industry. When I decided to purchase a truck & start developing a concept I knew I didnt want to hot dogs, BBQ, tacos or any ordinary offerings for a food truck. I wanted something premium and delicious. My wife and I had recently traveled up north for vacation and fell in love with the cuisine but one that stood out the most was Maine style seafood rolls, something about the simplicity & freshness of the rolls were just very interesting to me but I also knew that there were not many if any offerings of this in a food truck. So, I started my research and founded Lobster Dogs. We started the Lobster Dogs Food Truck with a simple idea and 1 trailer, to create a concept that focuses on a limited menu with premium ingredients and the ability to get premium prices for the product. Every day since, we’ve refined our business model and focus on the details. The result is a system that is profitable and scalable. In just 16 months after franchising, we now have are in over 25 markets all over the country! Owning a Lobster Dogs franchise, you’re investing in a business that can help you build long-term wealth, be your own boss, and leave a legacy for your family.

Investing in a Lobster Dogs franchise is an opportunity to invest in a proven business model, an established brand, and a team that knows how to maximize profits. You can build a business with bigger growth potential and less risk. We want you to build your business as your pace and gain as much as we have as in our first few years of business.
