Nickel-Priced Hotdog Promotions

This Nathan’s Famous Promotion Celebrates National Hot Dog Day

This Nathan’s Famous promotion is being run by the iconic New York restaurant in celebration of National Hot Dog Day to provide patrons with a truly low-cost meal deal. The brand will be offering its signature hot dogs for just five-cents each on July 17, 2024 from 11am to 1pm at participating locations as a nod to the original price point in 1916. The promotion is limited to two hotdogs per order and is expected to be a hit amongst consumers looking to chow down on a classic summertime food for a rock-bottom price.

The Nathan’s Famous promotion comes as part of a wider embrace of ultra-low-price food promotions taking place in the US as brands seek to draw back consumers who have cut back on discretionary spending as of late.
