So. I looked for Frank's Franks in my town. Found two. Both with the same phone number. Then I looked at hourscenterdotcom. They had listings for our town, of businesses that went under before there was even an internet.

I found that the number given for our local Frank's Franks, belongs to a well known business man who has been here since always. Turns out one of the locations is actually his biz office. The other is a local law firm.

It got to where hourscenter looked weirder than an invisible hotdog stand. They MUST have pulled our towns biz register and listed every single biz, open or closed for the past 25 years. Was thinking web crawler, but that doesn't work for small shops that closed ages ago. That means someone is deliberately doing legwork at hourscenter, but not caring about the content much. So you would expect the hourscenter page to be flooded with ads, but it's not. Hourscenter is...odd.

Did find three legit Frank's Franks. One in the Chicago area(closed), one in Bastrop TX (closed) and one in Renton, WA (open).

Also found a hotdog cart rental vendor, leasing I think, by the name Frank's Franks. Anyone can have or start an llc, rent a FF hotdog cart for X amount of time, and have it show up on a towns biz registry. So there is a chance all of these FF locations are people/companies who rented a hotdog cart for an event or fair, out of their existing biz. Going back for YEARS. That would explain the number of them and the strange locations.

Now, before anyone calls me a shill, I'm just stating what I found so far, not making a call yet.
