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.
