Hot Dog on a Stick is celebrating National Lemonade Day, and its 80th anniversary, by offering customers an 80-cent lemonade with the purchase of a stick item on Aug. 20.
On Thursday, guests who buy any original Hot Dog on a Stick or Cheese on a Stick at regular price can purchase a 16-ounce original fresh hand-stomped lemonade for 80 cents. The one-day, in-store promotion is available at participating locations, according to a press release.
Customers will also receive a free limited-edition 80th-anniversary sticker with any purchase, while supplies last.
Founded in Santa Monica, California, in 1946, the brand is known for its red, white, blue and yellow uniforms, made-to-order sticks and fresh lemonade. The milestone anniversary follows the company's recent acquisition by an affiliate of Amazing Brands, led by founder Stephen Siegel. The new parent company plans to enhance the guest experience, expand the menu and grow the brand's footprint while preserving its nostalgic traditions.
