Dog Haus reopened its Azusa location Wednesday after a months-long closure, with an expanded menu and a five-day fundraiser for local students.
Dog Haus reopened its Azusa location Wednesday, ending a months-long closure that had drawn repeated questions from local customers. The restaurant at 638 N. Azusa Ave. now operates under multi-unit franchisee Kyle Walters, who said the new menu is the largest in the brand's history.
The chain added crispy and grilled chicken, shareable appetizers, breakfast burritos, and a full bar alongside its standard hot dogs, sausages, and smashburgers. Walters said the expanded offering is meant to bring in first-time visitors while holding onto the customers who made the original location a neighborhood staple.
To mark the return, Dog Haus is running a five-day fundraiser for Homework House, a local nonprofit that provides academic support to students. From Aug. 12 through Aug. 16, guests who donate $3 get a free entree of their choice. "We've been hearing one question from the Azusa community for months: 'When is Dog Haus coming back?'" Walters said. "We're excited to finally say the wait is over."
Dog Haus was founded in 2010 in Pasadena by Hagop Giragossian, Quasim Riaz, and André Vener. The brand has grown to more than 50 U.S. locations and opened its first international outpost in Mérida, Mexico, in June 2026. The Azusa store will be open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and an hour later on weekends. Happy hour runs 3-6 p.m. weekdays.
The company's menu emphasizes all-natural, humanely raised proteins and includes plant-based alternatives. Dog Haus has won industry awards from Nation's Restaurant News and Fast Casual, and its Haus Rewards app combines loyalty ordering for both Dog Haus and Bad-Ass Breakfast Burritos.
