About Nathan's Famous, Inc.

Nathan's Famous, Inc. (NATH) operates primarily within the foodservice sector, encompassing both direct operations and an extensive licensing model. The company manages and licenses out restaurant locations operating under the iconic Nathan's Famous banner, while also distributing a wide array of products featuring their well-known trademarks across numerous retail and commercial outlets. A significant portion of their business revolves around licensing agreements. These arrangements empower other entities to manufacture, market, and sell Nathan's Famous branded goods. This includes refrigerated consumer packages of items like hot dogs, sausages, and corned beef, along with other prepared meat products, all destined for resale through major retail channels such as supermarkets, grocery stores, mass merchandisers, and club stores. Further expanding its reach, Nathan's Famous also grants licenses for: the bulk production of hot dogs and sausages specifically for the broader foodservice industry; the supply of their signature natural casing and skinless hot dogs in bulk for use within their own restaurant network; the creation of proprietary spice blends; and the manufacturing and distribution of complementary items like sauerkraut, pickles, French fries, and onion rings for retail. Moreover, licenses extend to a range of frozen appetizers such as miniature bagel dogs, franks-in-a-blanket, mozzarella sticks, and various other hors d'oeuvres, which are distributed via club stores, supermarkets, and a host of other food retailers. Beyond licensing, the company directly supplies its Nathan's brand items to foodservice operators and distributors. Additionally, it offers fish fillets under the Arthur Treacher's brand. As of March 27, 2022, the company's restaurant footprint included four establishments directly owned and operated within the New York City metropolitan area, alongside 239 franchised locations spanning 18 U.S. states and 12 international territories. Established in 1916, Nathan's Famous, Inc. maintains its headquarters in Jericho, New York.
