Los Angeles\u2019 iconic Pink\u2019s Hot Dogs to open first Japan location in Tokyo<\/p>\n
One of Los Angeles\u2019 most iconic spots is Pink\u2019s Hot Dogs. Pink\u2019s is known for oversized hot dogs featuring toppings including chili, cheese, bacon, jalape\u00f1os and onion rings. Now, the eatery that started as a pushcart more than eight decades ago plans to open its first restaurant in Japan by the end of the year.<\/p>\n
The family-run hot dog business is partnering with Japanese restaurant management company Sunpark to open a location in Tokyo. Sunpark operates more than 100 restaurants throughout Japan and brings extensive experience in restaurant operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the years, we\u2019ve had the pleasure of welcoming so many guests from Japan to Pink\u2019s in Los Angeles, and it has always meant a great deal to our family to see the enthusiasm and affection they have for Pink\u2019s,\u201d Pink\u2019s Hot Dogs co-owner Richard Pink said.<\/p>\n
An exact location in Tokyo and opening date have not been announced.<\/p>\n
The Tokyo restaurant will offer around 15 varieties of hot dogs, along with hamburgers, side dishes, desserts and drinks. Japan-exclusive items tailored to local tastes are also planned.<\/p>\n
Pink\u2019s Hot Dogs and Sunpark plan to expand out of Tokyo as well.<\/p>\n
From Paul and Betty Pink purchasing a pushcart for $50 in 1939 and selling hot dogs, to then a permanent location on La Brea Avenue in 1946, to now going across the globe to Tokyo, this business never stops thriving.<\/p>\n
