Many of you may recall a similar incident at Wal-Mart on 466, where there used to be Nathans Hot Dogs. We used to go to Wal-Mart just for hot dogs and then maybe we'd shop at Wal-Mart. Since Nathans left, we've cut back considerably on our visits to Wal-Mart. That Nathans was terrific both for the food as well as the price. Great hot dogs, great fries, and fish and chips. I seriously doubt that the subsequent Subway does anywhere near the business that Nathans had. Some may know the reason why Nathans closed but I suspect it was the rent. Since many Home Depot's have hot dog vendors outside, I wonder whether it signals a change in HD corporate policy or maybe just a local dispute over rent.
