Hot dog chain opens restaurant in Springboro
A Sam’s Hot Dog Stand restaurant has opened at 54 Hiawatha Trail in Springboro.
The hot dog shop, which opened last week, is located in the rear of a strip shopping center off Ohio 73, in a location that previously housed the Ragamuffin Cafe. It is the sole Ohio location of a 44-restaurant chain headquartered in Waynesboro, Virginia. The other restaurants are located primarily in West Virginia, Virginia and Kentucky.
Mary Davis, who lives in Montgomery in suburban Cincinnati, is the owner-operator of the franchise. Davis and her daughter, Pam Malpass, are the sole employees.
Davis said she operated four Sam’s Hot Dog Stand restaurants in West Virginia before moving to Ohio seven years ago. She worked in retail jobs in the lat seven years, but found that she missed the restaurant business.
“I figured I’d look for a location here and do it again,” she said of becoming a Sam’s franchisee. “I plan on opening more, although I’ve got to get this one going well first.”
The initial reception “has been good, given that people are probably not familiar with the chain and don’t yet know we’re here,” Davis said.
Sam’s Hot Dog Stand offers all-beef hot dogs topped with mild or spicy meat sauce, pork barbecue sandwiches, soups and peanut butter fudge. It is open from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed Sunday. For more information, call (937) 550-9528.
