Description

Photo’s Hot Dogs, the popular creation of Jim Photopoulos, opened in the then-new commercial strip at the intersection of Wolf and Kensington Roads in 1989 and drew in crowds of all ages for 30 years. Families flocked there, as did harried birthday party hosts and hostesses with their rowdy “charges”, adult and youth sports teams, middle and high school friends and even college students home on breaks. Many still fondly remember the vintage red International Harvester ambulance adorned with a large wooden hot dog on top which made deliveries for years and the vintage car shows they held in their parking lot.

But most of all, they remember the delicious soft-serve ice cream, hot dogs, gyros, burgers and even the rather short-lived (but still longed-after) broasted chicken.

Made of pre-shrunk 100% ring-spun cotton.
