History
Crave Hot Dogs & Barbecue was born from the vision of founders Samantha and Sal Rincione who desired to bring their love for barbecue and hot dogs to the masses. With their extensive experience in the hospitality industry, they created a business model that resonated with customers and offered a unique twist to the traditional fast-casual restaurant. The values embedded within the brand, along with winning the award for the "Best BBQ Franchise in the US," are a testament to their dedication and success.
Today, Crave continues to expand with a strong franchise network throughout the country. Our franchisees are viewed as family, and their success is our success.
