Interview with Todd Chusid, CEO and Founder of Johnnie's Dog House - Page 2

Q: Can you tell us the differences between a Johnnie's Fast Casual Restaurant and a Johnnie's Mobile Kiosk?

Johnnie's Dog House has several business formats that compete in the booming franchise food industry. Our Fast Casual Restaurant offers a welcoming entrance, nostalgic décor, and unique historical photographs from different generations which decorate the dining area. This business offering is a natural fit in residential business districts, town & lifestyle centers, and beach & shore communities. Our kiosk solution is well suited to locations such as airports, college campuses, malls, home improvement centers, retail outlets, hotels, tourist attractions, shopping centers, and transportation centers.

Q: Is it true that you have agreements with home improvement stores such as Home Depot and Lowes to open Johnnie's at these locations? Can you explain how this works?

By establishing a Partnership with Best Vendors and Chameleon Carts, Johnnie's Dog House has been awarded the rights to develop and market its kiosk franchise solution at Home Depot and Lowe's across the United States. You can be in business in about 12 weeks, avoid the large expenses associated with building your own location and you can take full advantage of Home Depot's or Lowe's traffic.

Q: Where do you see Johnnie's in the next 5-10 years?

As we establish and prove ourselves in a variety of markets and venues in the next 2 or 3 years, it leads us to our goal of establishing a nationally recognized brand. The next logical step will be to expand the Johnnie's Dog House brand to a global level. I believe these goals are obtainable because of our competitive advantage - having our brand become a recognized destination in a community, while providing franchisees with a multi-faceted business model creates.
