About All American Hot Dog Carts

We can make you feel like a king.

Louis DiRaimondo started All American Hot Dog in 1972 after working for several years as a Hot Dog Vendor in South Florida. Mr. DiRaimondo began to realize that increasing equipment costs were beginning to make it impossible for newcomers to break into the vending business. He was determined that you could sell a quality cart at an affordable price that would allow his customers to realize their earning potential in the vending cart business. To this day, Mr. DiRaimondo still believes in the dream most of us have of owning our own business and making a good living. He wants to make it possible for anyone to be able to afford that dream and become their own boss today!

ALL AMERICAN was founded on the premise that the customer is always king. We recognized that the need to supply people with their own low-cost, fairly easy to run profitable business was real. With this in mind we created a very durable hot dog cart, the ORIGINAL ALL AMERICAN. It was meant to be a virtually indestructible workhorse. It is, 42 years later. It is virtually unchanged. It is the most copied hot dog cart ever built. We started it.
Since 1972 we have added 5 more equally durable carts to our lineup and we continue to provide great customer service & follow-through. We even do your licensing paperwork for you and we provide a free detailed business plan. We are the oldest cart-manufacturing specialists in North America. We are as happy to serve you now as we were in 1972.

About Cheese Curds Gourmet Burgers + Poutinerie

We opened our first Cheese Curds location in the Woodside area of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia in February 2012 and we were the Halifax Regional Municipality's very first gourmet burger restaurant. Several other gourmet burger concepts soon followed, some have even since closed their doors, but we continued to succeed despite increased competition and opened a second location in Dartmouth in May 2013. We have been asked over and over when we are going to franchise our awesome burger concept and the answer is...very soon! We have been working hard gearing up for this over the last little while and we are happy to say we will be ready to bring on franchisees for the Atlantic Canada region in 2015.Cheese Curds provides a unique franchise proposition, not only in the quality and reputation of the brand to the consumer but also in the proven operating method offered to franchisees based on the years of experience of our founder.Cheese Curds believes competition is healthy and can only be positive for the customer. We differentiate ourselves by providing chef inspired menu items using only the freshest ingredients, with an unwavering focus on flavour and we prepare everything to order in an open kitchen concept in front of the customer. Our orders take a little longer to fill as a result but we stand behind our mantra that "it is worth the wait". Our high repeat customer experience tells us we are right.
