My hubby is a handy dandy man so he is always at Home Depot buying something. He always gets a hot dog. We are from Michigan and he loves those hot dogs !!

Doggone if that doesn't chap my buns, but let's be frank. Those home depot wienies have not put him out of business. He'll relocate and we can ketchup with him later.

its usually a license or safety or cleanliness issue that gets these vendors in trouble.

What a Cheesy thing to do! I don't Relish the idea of going to HD!!! Wish him the best and hope he Rolls with it!

This happened to our hot dog stand here in MD. A few days later they showed up on the Lowe's parking lot. Now, we make an effort to change our shopping habits to go to Lowe's. Love those hot dogs and lemonade!

We will probably never know the back story. He might get steamed if we grill him over why he couldn't cut the mustard at Home Depot.

Seems like the same old story: boy meets grill, boy gets grill, boy loses grill. I'm sure his loyal customers will be able to ketch-up with him at his new location. I'm sure he would relish that.

Good idea, Happi.
When you find out where he is going, please tell everyone.
He has such an excellent reputation; I'm sure he will find another place.

Also, just a thought . . .

If you go to Home Depot, everyone should make it a point
of asking the manager why the hot dog man
was sent on his not-so-merry way.
It's horrible that they didn't even give him a reason.
I hope it's not a case of nepotism and that the position
is being given to someone's relative.

If it was a question of any of the things you mentioned,
the "walking papers" wouldn't have come from the manager.
It would have been issued by the health department or other source.

Very clever post.

The LSL hot dog guy works out of the movie theater concession stand. Neat arrangement.

Count me out. Without Home Depot, the Hot Dog Man would not have had all those good years. Why not thank them for that?

Hot dog dance...maybe this will make it all better...

I wouldn't do that. I'm sure it's one of those business decisions.

You might be right, but I heard that his dogs were in hot water and he had to take off looking for one that went on the lamb!
