After much anticipation and several practice nights, the doors at Zombie Dogz officially open at 1200 Brown Street today at 10am.

They’ll be serving up their gourmet hot dogs seven days a week. Hours will be:

Monday-Thursday 10:30-11
Friday-Saturday 10:30-midnight
Sunday 10-9

With 12 dogz on the menu and 3 seasonal dogs making special appearances, they’ve even added a gluten free bun option, diners will have plenty of choices. Sides include Dr.Pepper baked beans, truffle macaroni and cheese and tater tots!

They’ve also partnered with Beavercreek bakery Cake, Hope & Love to offer an exclusive line of cupcakes with three flavors (pictured below) you won’t find anywhere else, according CH&L owner Shannon Teague. For many of us this ability to support to awesome local entrepreneurs in one building is great news!

Owners David and Lee VanArtsdalen, with 9 week old Dylan and big brother Dylan have spent the last week hosting friends, family and supporters into the restaurant so they can test the new staff, the set up, learn the registers and get ready for the crowds that will no doubt pack the place. At one of the preview nights, I commented to them I think their biggest problem is going to be staying below the mandated occupancy code of 66! Lee shared that on top of having the new baby and opening the shop, they are moving to a new house this coming weekend as well.

The VanArstdalen’s posted this thank you on their facebook page today:

“Something I’d also like to mention is all of the local community we’ve pulled in to help build our location. The artists, marketing people, tech peeps, contractors, design group, realtor company ect……. are all a part of helping our restaurant come together and wouldn’t be what it is now without the help of everyone who’s rode this ride with us. We’d just like to give a special thanks to those mentioned that have really made our new location what it is now.”

We wish them all huge success! And yes, they food truck will still continue to make appearances around town!
