The O'Doggy's Story
Since 1893, the hot dog has been a part of American culture. From the World’s Fair, to city sidewalks, to baseball games and family BBQs, the hot dog is an American tradition. Rolla resident Cory Lawrence, and his wife, Susan, are continuing this tradition with their hot dog cart, O’Doggy’s, which can be seen around town. In the fall of 2011, after operating a cart for church events, Lawrence had an idea to build his own cart, reminiscent of the nostalgic carts that started appearing on city streets around the turn of the 20th century.
After downsizing at the company he worked for eliminated his job, Lawrence decided to pursue his dream of operating a hot dog cart. What had began as simply a hobby, and a way to get to know his neighbors in Rolla, was about to become a full fledged business. The Lawrences enjoy meeting and interacting with the people of Rolla. “I have always wanted to work in a public setting,” Cory says. “I love serving people, the conversations you get into, the friendships that are built. Unfortunately, my career had led me behind a desk for the last 10 years.”
Variety and catering to the budget and tastes of the customers are the Lawrences two main goals. “We offer an affordable meal to fit anyone's budget. For example, there is a 2 hotdogs, chips and soda meal deal for $7.00 (tax included) all the toppings they want (chili, cheese, bacon, & cream cheese .50 extra) We offer a 100% all beef hot dog, with all the typical condiments,(mustard, relish, onions, and ketchup) as well as BBQ sauce, chili, cheese, and an expanding list of local favorites. There will also be some unique offerings such as the homemade coleslaw for your dog, a banana pepper relish, bacon jam, and other seasonal surprises . . . O'Doggy's will cater to the public... if there is enough demand we will include them.”
O’Doggy’s is also available for promotions, parties, fundraisers, catering, and special events.
