Hot Dog on a Stick, the US quick-service brand owned by FAT Brands, has opened a new location at DOCO (Downtown Commons) in Sacramento in the US state of California.

The DOCO site is an entertainment and lifestyle district in Sacramento’s urban centre.

The new Hot Dog on a Stick is located on the second-level terrace at 414 K Street #210, in West Plaza.

Offerings at the DOCO location include the brand’s hand-stomped lemonade and made-to-order Hot Dog on a Stick and Cheese on a Stick products.

Hot Dog on a Stick senior director of Marketing Laura Vandevier stated: “We are thrilled to bring Hot Dog on a Stick to the heart of Sacramento at DOCO, the city’s ultimate dining and shopping destination, expanding on our two existing locations in the area.

“For more than 70 years, Hot Dog on a Stick has remained dedicated to serving up smiles with our craveable Hot Dog on a Stick and Cheese on a Stick offerings and signature hand-stomped lemonade.

“DOCO is the perfect place for us to continue that tradition and connect further with the community.”

The first Hot Dog on a Stick was established in 1946 in Santa Monica, California, originally as a food stand on Muscle Beach.

The brand has since expanded to 50 sites across the US.

In August 2023, FAT Brands signed an agreement with Global Vita USA to open ten new franchised locations in Iraq by 2028.
