Be the first person to write a business review for Nath Companies Incorporated

Nathan’s Famous was founded by a Polish immigrant, Nathan Handwerker, and his is truly an authentic “only in America story.” He started his business in 1916 with a small hot dog stand in Coney Island, New York. He sold hot dogs that were manufactured based on a recipe developed by his wife, Ida. You might say patrons of this restaurateur are in the dog house. Nathan's Famous is a leading franchisor of quick-service restaurants with a chain of about 250 Nathan's outlets known for their all-beef frankfurters served with a variety of toppings. The eateries also serve hamburgers, French fries, and breakfast sandwiches. More than 50 Nathan's units also feature fish and chips under the Arthur Treacher's brand. In addition to restaurants, the company sells Nathan's branded products through 13,000 points of sale, including vending machines, Subway units at Wal-Mart stores, and Auntie Anne's pretzel shops. Specialty Foods Group makes Nathan's hot dogs for retail sale under a licensing deal.

Without this organization, New Yorkers might go hungry. National Restaurants Management, which does business as The Riese Organization, is among the largest multiple-franchise restaurant operators in New York City. Its portfolio of about 80 eateries includes quick-service outlets (Tim Hortons, KFC, and Pizza Hut) and chain restaurants (T.G.I. Friday's and Houlihan's); Riese also operates upscale Manhattan night spots such as Charley O's and Times Square Grill. In addition to restaurants, the Riese Organization manages several real-estate holdings through a separate division. The company, founded by brothers Murray and Irving Riese in 1940, is controlled by CEO Dennis Riese (Murray's son).

This patrician gives a thumbs-up to quick-service pizza. Noble Roman's operates a chain of about 820 franchised quick-service restaurants located mostly in high-traffic areas, such as shopping malls, college campuses, and military bases.

Novus Leisure operates about 40 upscale nightspots in London and nine other cities in the UK. The company's flagship chain of bars, Tiger Tiger, has about 10 locations offering drinks, dancing, and food. Its other concepts, such as Strawberry Moons, Sugar Reef, and Zoo Bar, each offer a unique atmosphere for young adults out on the town. Spun off from intellectual property firm Chorion in 2002, the company was acquired by private equity firm Electra Partners in 2005.

You need only be hungry, not Irish, to eat at these restaurants. O'Charley's is a leading full-service restaurant company with about 360 locations in 30 states.
