Gaming operator buys popular hot dog truck to keep it operating
June 9, 2022
The Zombie Dogz food truck is still up and running in Dayton, Ohio and it's all due to its gourmet hotdog as well as the truck's cult following.
The Hollywood Gaming Dayton Raceway bought the truck this year and began operating it last month, according to a Dayton.com report.
The truck, run by the owners of the brick-and-mortar Zombie Dogz, which closed in 2020, ceased operations in the fall of 2021.
"Zombie Dogz was an extremely popular Dayton favorite in food trucks. The cult following that it has as well as the tie to old Hollywood horror movies made it an easy decision," Jennifer Woffindale, director of marketing at Hollywood Gaming, told the news outlet. "Also, we didn't want to see the truck close or leave the area, so we thought it was a win-win situation."
Zombie Dogz is located in the casino's outdoor space and is available for private events.
