ABOUT WILLY DOG HOT DOG CARTS

Willy Dog was founded by and continues to be operated by people who know the business inside out. CEO & Top Dog Will Hodgskiss started as an owner/operator of a single hot dog cart and from there he grew Willy Dog into a thriving company that builds and delivers hot dog carts to people around the globe. In 2009, his daughter Niki Hodgskiss started her own food cart business, and operated a busy summer location for 4 years while she finished university and before joining the WD manufacturing team in 2013.
