Beans and Franks

History

How did we come up with this random, quirky mix of hot dogs and coffee, you ask? The concept of Beans and Franks started with a primary focus of gourmet hot dogs. Jeff is originally from the Buffalo, New York area, and grew up his whole life enjoying this American favorite. The original plan was to open a hot dog stand in a concession trailer adjacent to our current building, just to test the market. Long story short, we talked to our friend about a location close to campus, and he offered us the spot we're currently in now. We then decided to add coffee because of our proximity to Tarleton - after all, college kids love caffeine, right? After much deliberation while sitting in lawn chairs in the driveway one evening, Jeff, Jodi and Jodi's brother, Benji, finally decided on the name Beans and Franks!
