Feltman’s of Coney Island announced its launch at more than 150 Whole Foods Markets in the North Atlantic, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Florida.
Feltman’s Original Casing Hot Dog 1-lb. 6-packs and Feltman’s Skinless Hot Dogs 1-lb. 10-packs have arrived at Whole Foods Market shelves in Kentucky, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Florida.
First established in 1867 by Charles Feltman upon introducing the world’s first hot dog to Coney Island beachgoers, Feltman’s of Coney Island today continues to serve uncured all-natural beef hot dogs inspired by Charles Feltman’s old-world Frankfurter sausage recipe.
“The launch of Feltman’s at Whole Foods Market, which continues to set the bar for high-quality, thoughtfully-made foods, is an incredible testament to the premier craftsmanship that goes into making our all natural 100 percent beef hot dogs,” said Feltman’s of Coney Island Co-Owner and President Michael Quinn, who resurrected the famous Feltman’s brand—and Charles Feltman’s old-world recipe—in 2015 with his brother Joe Quinn, in honor of their late brother who died in the 9/11 attacks.
Under the Quinn brothers’ leadership, Feltman’s of Coney Island began rapidly scaling into retail grocers in 2018. To date, the veteran-owned and operated business has experienced 145 percent year-over-year revenue growth with its products distributed to more than 1,500 retailers nationwide.
“We couldn’t think of a better partner than Whole Foods Market as we continue to grow and revitalize this legacy American brand,” continued Michael Quinn. “We are beyond proud to be bringing our critically-acclaimed hot dogs to Whole Foods Market’s health-savvy customers and their families and hope to further inspire them to eat natural—one hot dog at a time.”
Feltman’s of Coney Island’s all-natural 100 percent beef hot dogs are nitrate-free and contain no artificial ingredients. Made with the Original Frankfurter Spice Blend, Feltman’s Original Casing Hot Dogs are naturally smoked in a snappy lamb casing to seal in the smoky juices. Like the brand’s Original Hot Dogs, Feltman’s Skinless Hot Dogs are made with the Original Frankfurter Spice Blend for the same premium flavor, but without the casing. They are naturally smoked and cured for three hours in a smokehouse with bacon to infuse them with a balance of savory and smoky flavor.
