Not everyone happy as Hot Dog Guy says goodbye to east-end Canadian Tire
CBC
After 24 years selling hot dogs outside the East London Canadian Tire location, David Jafray is moving on.
The store changed hands recently and Jafray said he was unable to work out a deal to stay with the new owners.
"I'm one of the original hot dog sellers at Canadian Tires," said Jafray, while taking orders for his last lunch rush on Thursday. "I've been here 24 years. I'm just going to shut down and regroup. It's been a tough couple of years with COVID-19. It's been an interesting battle, it's taken its toll."
The store's owner didn't respond to calls for comment from CBC News.
Word that Jafray's business — simply called The Hot Dog Guy — was serving its last tube steak spread quickly on Facebook. One post had almost 100 comments.
Some expressed frustration that he was soon to close. Many said they'd miss the chance to grab some street meat while running errands on busy weekends.
Some even threatened to boycott the store.
