Jake Paul is stepping out of the boxing ring and behind the counter again as he hosts a headline-worthy grand opening celebration for Dog Haus on Saturday, May 3rd, at 5414 Hwy 6 in Missouri City, TX. But don’t expect a typical ribbon-cutting ceremony. Paul is turning this launch into a fan-focused bash packed with exclusives, entertainment, and entrepreneurial energy.
Doors open at 11 a.m., but the real main event begins when Paul himself arrives at 2:30 p.m. for a high-impact appearance that includes a press conference, ribbon cutting, and hosting duties throughout the afternoon. The first 100 guests will be entered to win signed boxing gloves, while all fans who download the Haus Rewards app and show up on opening day will score a free El Gallo Sandwich; no strings attached.
“I’m all in on Dog Haus, and I couldn’t be more hyped to bring this experience to Missouri City,” said Paul. “This isn’t just about opening a restaurant — it’s about creating a vibe, giving back to the community and showing up for the people who show up for me.”
The Jake Paul Effect: Energy, Fans, and First Bites
Jake Paul’s involvement with Dog Haus is more than celebrity sizzle; it’s strategic spark. As both a board member and franchisee, Paul brings a kinetic energy that resonates far beyond the boxing ring. His personal brand has become a magnet, drawing in fans who may have never heard of Dog Haus before, but now line up to experience the vibe, the food, and the movement he’s building.
In today’s franchise landscape, a recognizable face backed by real business involvement can be a powerful differentiator. Paul isn’t just licensing his name; he’s curating an experience. His hands-on approach, from crafting cocktails to meeting fans, builds a bridge between brand and guest. He becomes the gateway: the reason someone walks through the door for the first time and the spark that turns a casual visitor into a devoted regular.
This kind of celebrity-driven, energy-first approach doesn’t just generate buzz; it builds brand equity. By aligning with someone who commands both attention and loyalty, Dog Haus is anchoring itself as not only a fast-casual leader but a cultural force that connects with younger, socially engaged customers in ways traditional campaigns simply can’t.
From Boxing to Business: Paul’s Franchising Game Plan
This Missouri City outpost is the fourth Dog Haus location Jake Paul has opened in Texas under his aggressive 25-unit development deal. This was a partnership that solidified when Paul joined the Dog Haus Board of Directors in 2024. Previous launches in Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Houston have laid the foundation for his next wave of openings in Florida, Ohio, and Puerto Rico with his inner circle.
And on May 3rd, Paul is making sure fans get more than just burgers and brats. The grand opening party will include:
- A meet-and-greet with photo ops and autograph sessions
- Paul taking orders at the counter himself
- A food eating contest hosted by Paul
- Live music, face painting, and local entertainment
As part of the celebration, guests will also get first access to a new line of cocktails developed by Paul himself. Inspired by Dog Haus’ popular El Gallo Sandwich, the three signature drinks: Sweet El Gallo Loco, Bloody El Gallo, and Smoky El Gallo will be available all day for $20 (with a mocktail version at $15). Haus cocktail specials and discounted beer and wine round out the all-day drink deals.
Paul’s growing role within Dog Haus signals his serious commitment to the franchise space, blending celebrity firepower with business savvy. And the Missouri City event is just the latest example of how he’s turning restaurant openings into community-driven celebrations.
Whether you’re a fan of food, Jake Paul, or simply good times, Missouri City’s newest Dog Haus promises an opening day that punches above its weight.
