Michigan Home Depot stores set to do away with hot dog carts Carts originally shut down due to COVID
DETROIT – Hot dog carts in Home Depot stores were shut down when the pandemic started, but they won’t be reopening.
All Metro Detroit Home Depot stores are removing the hot dog carts. Bill Loizon is known as “The Hot Dog Guy.” He had hot dog carts in Home Depot stores for 20 years.
Loizon had four carts in four locations. He said his employees stayed on for years.
“They’re like family. I had to call them the other day. It is hard to say goodbye and tell them they’re done,” Loizon said.
Home Depot released the following statement:
“In March 2020, our in-store food vendors were asked to close for the safety of customers and associates, and the decision has been made to suspend food vendor operations in Michigan so we can focus on serving customers with their home improvement needs. This news was shared with vendors a couple weeks ago, and we appreciate the years and partnership and wish them well in their future business.”
