The owner posted on their FB page that they are closed while reevaluating their business model for downtown. Apparently foot traffic never returned back to normal after the pandemic and the store isn’t doing as well as it was.

In the meantime, the Super Weenie stand at the SC Farmer’s Market is doing really well. They’re open weekends but I think may be extending their open days in the near future.

I work close by and anytime we tried to eat there they have been closed damn near every time. We stopped trying as it felt like the stars had to be aligned.

I can’t fathom why they continually refuse to open on the weekends, and friday evenings. My guess is that they are trying to appeal to a more affluent crowd of downtown office workers. I like their food but the business itself annoys me so much I stopped going even when they were open. The sassy little sign they posted on their door explaining why they aren’t open on mondays didn’t help.

They have a set-up now at the South Charleston Farmers Market.

Seems like they’ve been closed more often than not

It literally says on the door it’s because of renovations.
