A 7-Eleven franchise location in Monsey, N.Y., became the first convenience store in the country to offer a kosher hot dog.
According to Newsday, the c-store added a second roller grill that was blessed by local Rabbi Zushe Blech.
“The response has been overwhelming,” Anthony Mendicino, who has operated the franchise location with his brother for 13 years, told the newspaper.
The c-store is located in the heart of Monsey’s Orthodox Jewish community. The new hot dog offering was the result of customers clamoring for the food, the news outlet reported.
