Dens Hot Dogs For Vending Combine Quality Convenience

BROOKLYN, NY -- Den's Hot Dogs is taking one of America's favorite fast foods upscale with its prepackaged, all-beef, natural-casing hot dogs in a French baguette-style bun.

The hot dogs come with one of four toppings: sauerkraut, pineapple chutney, sweet relish and onions in tomato sauce. Each 4.9-oz. box also includes packets of ketchup and mustard, along with a wet napkin.

Den's hot dogs are ready to eat after microwaving for 30 seconds if refrigerated and one minute if frozen. They have a 21-day refrigerated and nine-month frozen shelf life.

The product is designed to meet growing "desktop dining" demands from busy office workers who crave hot meals, but have just a moment to find a quick snack from the nearest vending machine, micromarket or newsstand, said Den's Hot Dogs founder Denys Gorbatiuk. He is a former corporate attorney whose passion to create a premium on-the-go hot dog inspired his career shift.

In addition to vending and micromarkets, Den's Hot Dogs is targeting convenience stores, movie theaters, airports, baseball stadiums and college campuses throughout the U.S.
