Making it our own with long lines for Jake’s Burger

I am not too sure if many of you have heard of Pink’s Hot Dog in Los Angeles but, it is one of the most well known small town eateries in the United States known for their hot dogs. They are known for their long lines late at night for hot dogs. Well, Pink’s has finally made their match in Pasadena. Their competitor is Jake’s! Wow, this past Saturday night was a special night. The Rose Bowl hosted a friendly soccer match between LA Galaxy and Barcelona FC. Their was an estimate of 90,000 people to attend the game. So, we were very prepared for this day planning ahead. Great planning came with great success, total sales for the day were well over $9k and for the figure that were all proud of total food sales were over $5K.  Well sold over 650 build your own burgers for the day. That is a lot of beef! I have to thank all the great staff and management team members for doing a great job! I would have to say the greatest thing to see was a huge line outside our doors for people about 40 deep waiting to eat our burgers. I over heard a couple say, “Wow its busy in here! I can understand the wait with so many people and, I have to say it was worth the wait. I have never had a burger like this. I would wait for 3 hours just to wait for the single taste of a Jake’s Burger.”
