OUR CHEESY BUT TRUE STORY

king kong

Kong Dog began its journey in September 2021 in Glenview, Illinois, quickly gaining buzz through word of mouth and glowing reviews. Crowds lined up for a bold, creative twist on the classic corn dog — a fun, flavorful experience that stood out. Riding that momentum, the team began bringing Kong Dog to new neighborhoods, where it continued to earn loyal fans with its playful presentation and crave-worthy taste.

As the brand evolved, Kong Dog expanded its menu to include crispy Korean-style fried chicken and other savory offerings, transforming from a quick snack stop into a destination for satisfying, full meals. With every new opening, Kong Dog is building a broader presence while staying true to its mission: delivering delicious, innovative comfort food that brings people together — one meal at a time.

“I am proud to be a franchisee of the Kong Dog brand, and running a franchise has been an incredibly positive experience for me. Although it took some getting used to, I now appreciate the many benefits that come with being part of an established brand. From the convenience of having pre-existing resources at my fingertips to the sense of community and security that comes with being part of a more extensive network, I feel that running a franchise has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

“It’s very easy to work with Kong Dog, we pay a reasonable initial fee and the company help us start with everything including training, inventory and marketing. The company also build up an easy inventory ordering system, so we can easily place the order online. And depends on different holidays we will have marketing campaigns which help the sales increase. Overall I love working with Kong Dog, it’s something that you do the effort and you really gain.
- Nicole J.
“Having the security of a franchise has made opening my Kong Dog much easier and stress free. Being a first time business owner, there are many things I am not familiar with and/or need help navigating and having the franchise has made the process go by so smoothly with little to no bumps. I know I can count on them if I am in need of anything and that I have a large support network.
