The Green Mouse hears that DP UpDogs is closing for good after the coming weekend, or may have gone already. It isn't clear, but sadly, it isn't a surprise. Apparently the owners both work full time elsewhere, and it just wasn't working out in terms of hired help. The hot dog stand's hours were quite limited, and the social media presence minimal.
Anyone have a concept? Ever since Little Chef ceased to exist, downtown is a place where kitchens close at about the same time each evening, and the White Castle on Vincennes is just about the only choice. If your idea includes food (my vote goes for a martini bar), then it may be worth considering the graveyard shift. Increased competition demands sustained effort, and establishments benefits from differentiation. The late night market is under-served; the dinner-time market probably saturated at present.
Is it time for all-night Doner Kebab?
Please?
Sad to see an indie business go but I gave Updogs a few chances and the medium quality $6 dogs were destined to fail.
ReplyDeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteNeed a place in New Albany like in Madison they have a small place called hinkles family owned and has a burger that gives the wc lounge a run for its money if I had the funds to run it I would try some easy low priced menu items late night crowd loves a good hamburger with grilled onions but it must have a wow factor to it I know I have been in the food industries sense I was 16
