Move over, Nathan’s: Joey Fatone is looking to expand his hot dog business.
The former *NSYNC band member, who already owns a hot dog stand called Fat One’s in Orlando, told Page Six on Thursday he’s ready to open two or three more locations in Florida and hopes to expand elsewhere.
“I’d love to branch out into [New York City] and also Brooklyn or Bensonhurst, the neighborhood where I was born,” he told us. “There are endless places, but it’s a matter of finding a good place that would fit the Fat One’s brand.”
Fatone, 40, also told us he’s in talks with production companies for a TV series, and that Fat One’s could be hitting the road in a food truck.
“I want to travel across country to spread the word about Fat One’s, but also get an insight on areas and locations to possibly open [stores],” he said.
Fans can also expect to see the singer on another foodie reality show. Fatone revealed to us that he shot scenes for an episode of “Wahlburgers” with Donnie Wahlberg.
He said there have been talks of cross-promotions between the two companies, but nothing set in stone.
However, fans who can’t make it to Florida for one of Fatone’s hot dogs have the option of buying them online via HSN.
“There were so many people asking us, ‘Hey, open up a store here, open up a store there,'” he told us, “So in the meantime, since we don’t have a store in their city or their state, we’re actually going to have them be able to order [them].”
He added, “I’ve been very excited about it and just trying to get the word out there.”
