Rise Brands, which owns 16-Bit Bar+Arcade, Pins Mechanical Company, and No Soliciting, is opening its second Weenie Wonder location in February 2023 in Columbus, Ohio’s Easton Town Center. The expansion comes nearly a year after the first location opened in Dublin’s Bridge Park. Rooted in Founder Troy Allen’s childhood, the chain serves hot dogs, milkshakes, veggie dogs, mac and cheese and Jojos, seasoned fried potato wedges with “Wonder Sauce.”
“It has been so incredible to see the response to Weenie Wonder since we launched in February 2022,” Allen said in a company press release. “Our goal from the beginning has always been to expand in the Columbus market, and beyond, to give more people access to our tasty dogs and shakes. We’re thrilled to be opening our second location at such a dynamic destination, and be part of people’s memorable experiences they’re creating at Easton. This is one of four brands we’ve launched that captures a moment from childhood. With Weenie Wonder, it’s about tapping into your inner kid while enjoying a classic dog with our creative toppings that excite taste buds at any age.”
