    Richard Pink, Pink's Hotdogs, Hollywood

    Pink’s Hot Dogs, Inc., a Hollywood landmark since 1939, this hot dog stand serves over 1200 hot dogs and 200 hamburgers a day. Pink’s was started in 1939 by Richard’s and Beverly’s parents, Paul and Betty Pink, with a pushcart they purchased for $50, which money they borrowed from Betty’s mother. The land on which the pushcart stood was leased by Paul and Betty for $15 per month. Hot dogs at that time were 10 cents and cokes were a nickel. Pink’s offered curb service, and was lucky to sell 100 hot dogs a day. Due to Pink’s unique menu, its historic age for an LA restaurant (86 years) and its celebrity patrons, it has now been featured in movies, TV shows, the food channel, the travel channel and travel books. As the Pink’s name grew, large restaurant operators came to the family wanting to license the Pink’s name and products in various amusement parks, hotels, arenas and county fairs. Pink’s now has 8 locations including the Original at 709 N. La Brea (Hollywood), Universal CityWalk (Hollywood), The LA Zoo (Los Angeles), Cinema West Beach Cities Movie Theater (731 S. Nash Street, El Segundo), Cowabunga Bay Water Park (900 Galleria Dr., Henderson, Nevada), Cowabunga Canyon Water Park (7055 S. Fort Apache Rd, Las Vegas, Nevada), three locations in Manila, Philippines (Bonifacio Global City, Salcedo Village and Okada Hotel), Seoul, South Korea (Hyundai Seoul Department Store), and Los Angeles and Orange County Fairs.  Pink’s also has an active catering business. Pinks attributes its longevity and its success to the tastiness of its hot dogs, which snap when you bite into them, its never ending hot dog menu combinations, its loyal long-term staff of over 24, many of whom have been with Pink’s for over ten years, its unique 1946 open kitchen curb side stand and relaxed dining room and patio seating, its Hollywood location and atmosphere, its appearances nationwide in movies and TV and its commitment to the community through its chili dogs for charity program. Pink’s is often referred to as “A Hollywood Legend Since 1939” but the Pink family likes to say “We are the little hot dog stand that could.”
