This landmark launch not only marks the brand’s entry into the Indian market but also establishes Pune as the launch pad for Franks ambitious growth in the country. Known for its vibrant culinary scene and adventurous food lovers, Pune provides the perfect setting for Franks Hot Dog to introduce its innovative, flavor-packed menu that combines global appeal with local tastes.
The menu at Franks Hot Dog Pune is designed to wow the city’s food enthusiasts with a diverse selection of signature gourmet hot dogs, crispy chicken pops, grilled chesse and refreshing beverages.
