Dog n Suds - Neon Signs on Waymarking.com

Dog n Suds is a Midwest chain of hot dog drive-in style eateries with the once popular and now rare form of in-car "carhop" delivery service. The chain was created in Champaign, Illinois by school teachers James Griggs and Don Hamacher. Licensing rights are now owned by TK&C's LLC of Lafayette, Indiana.

They were very common throughout the 1950s and 1960s and at one time had about 750 restaurants. Griggs sold his interest in the business in the early 70's. Today only 13 "traditional" and two newer "non-traditional" locations survive in the Mid-Western United States. A new Dog N Suds was opened in Norton Shores, MI in September of 2007.

Due to the outdoor environment, business is seasonal. During the long winter months some locations shut down food operations and sell Christmas trees instead.
