Hold on to your buns.
An Oscar Mayer Wienermobile — operated by hotdoggers Corn Dog Kait and Coop Dawg — is making stops in Memphis this weekend.
During these visiting hours, Kaitlyn Goldstein (“Corn Dog Kait”) said families can “expect some fun, enthusiastic hotdoggers to greet them, and from there, all are welcome to take pictures in front of the iconic Wienermobile and take a peek at the inside to see the ketchup and mustard colored seats, the blue-sky ceiling and the bun box up front.”
The iconic 27-foot hot-dog-on-wheels will visit two Superlo Foods locations on Saturday, Sept. 28, including 3327 N. Watkins St., from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2155 Covington Pike from 2 to 5 p.m., and two Superlo Foods locations on Sunday, Sept. 29, including 3071 S. Perkins Road from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2269 Lamar Ave. from 2 to 5 p.m.
For those willing to drive a tad farther, the Wienermobile will be stationed at two Kroger locations in Horn Lake and Hernando, Miss., on Friday, Sept. 27, including 7521 Interstate Blvd. from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 1030 Mount Pleasant Road from 3 to 6 p.m.
“Our purpose is to spread smiles,” Goldstein said. “We’re all about showing up in different communities to bring the Weinermobile to the people and show them the love of Oscar Mayer.”
The duo will also be handing out trademarked weenie whistles and coupons for Oscar Mayer products.
There are six active Wienermobiles traveling around the country, each piloted by two “hotdoggers.”
Goldstein and Cooper Albert (“Coop Dawg”) represent the Southeast region, which encompasses Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky and Florida.
The Weinermobile makes its way to the Mid-South a few times a year.
This is this pair’s first time visiting Memphis.
