The Hot Dog Stand
I was out in the drive when one of my neighbors drove by with a hot dog stand behind his truck. I wandered down to be nosy and asked him what was up? He said he had just bought the stand and the rights to place it on the boardwalk down at the beach. He has the second street location and plans to run his cart there. He said he wanted his daughter to have a summer job to earn some money for her college fund.
Over the last many days, he has worked on improving the stand. He added some shelves to it and repainted it to reflect the new logo of Alexi’s ices. I was surprised to learn how many things are involved in the production of hot dogs. Of course he has a roller to cook the dogs, but he has a lot of other equipment as well.
There is a bun warmer and an ice machine. In addition to that there is a freezer and an ice crusher. He also plans to sell sausages and chips. I am glad to see that his daughter Alexis is taking an interest in the cart. She has been helping out doing all the things necessary to put the cart to rights. I hope they do well this summer and earn a lot of dough. I think I’ll stop by the beach one day to see how they are doing!
