Nathan's Famous Announces New Store Design, Fusing the Modern and Classic Styles of New York

JERICHO, N.Y., January 30, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​​​Nathan’s Famous, Inc., the American tradition serving New York favorites for more than 100 years, announced today its new store prototype featuring modern New York City loft-style elements next to classic features of historic architecture.

"The blending of old and new materials will give our restaurants a bit of historic charm while creating a modern, current experience," states James Walker, Senior Vice President, Restaurants. "We are excited to embark on this new era for Nathan's Famous, and are currently looking for locations in the Tri-state area to build our first corporate location featuring this new prototype."

About the Design

Styled after the modern New York City Loft with high ceilings and open spaces, Nathan's is committing to an architectural style that harkens the buildings of the early 1900s.

Inside the restaurant will feature a mixture of black steel beams and industrial-style windows, cement floors, and communal tables. The decor will highlight vintage New York elements like mosaic and subway tiles and period black and white photos next to contemporary paintings of New York themes. The new design, like Nathan's Famous and New York itself, is a combination of old and new, greatness from the past combined with an excitement for now and the future.

"As customers line up to order, they will pass glassed-in display grills cooking signature items like our hot dogs, cheesesteaks, and burgers. We intend for them to see the pride and care with which their food is prepared."

Location Search

The new store prototype is flexible and adaptable for sites both large and small, including both nontraditional and traditional locations, and is available for franchising immediately.

Nathan's Famous is currently holding a search for its first corporate location featuring the new prototype. Search efforts are underway in the Tri-state area for a stand-alone site, with drive-thru. For more information on the search, please contact [email protected].
