Dogs c DOYLE‘S

How long have you been in business?

Doyle’s Dogs opened in 2008. This is our 15th year.

How did you get started?

We first purchased what is now the hotdog stand, which was an original Pure Oil gas station built in the summer of 1935. Not knowing what we’d go with the building once we knew we had to have it, Pat’s previous experience while in high school was working at an independent food stand in Waukesha, we realized this could be a perfect venue for a Chicago style hotdog stand. We attended “hotdog university” in Milwaukee to learn the basics and opened in 2008. We first sold using a classic, mobile cart in downtown Lake Mills. We eventually moved the cart to “the stand” and sold there until we decided to move inside. As our seasonal business grew we expanded the building while maintaining its character. An ideal opportunity arose and we opened our second location year round in downtown Lake Mills.
