... our own Cheers...
“It’s kind of like our own version of Cheers. We have a good customer base and I don’t feel like I’m coming to work. I hang out with friends, socialize, do different events and tastings, it’s like a wine tasting but cigars, and it’s kind of like a clubby atmosphere.” – Dan Ducharme, owner
“After studying business at University of Augusta, I had a business crisis – and then I went to culinary school. This was actually a final [school] project – diner and hot dog stand (husband’s idea), covering all bases. 10 yrs of college, hot dog cart! This cart does seem to be recession proof since I haven’t raised the prices since I opened three years ago and everyone can afford a hot dog. Hopefully.”
This great old sign is a classic, along with the pizza pies within.
“Well yes, I get to know everybody, right? I mean it’s a small town. Personal touch, works out nice that way. I mix match anything people come up with – I think “oh that looks good!” so I work at it that way. Something different you know. And if nothing strikes me I just settle for a plain, can’t go wrong.” – Robert Cote, Manager

“There is big history. Especially back in old times during the Depression. I got to know [some of the boxers], interview them as a kid and maybe someday I’ll write a book. There’s a big history of boxing in this town…in fact Pepperell Hall in Biddeford was the first boxing gym. Biddeford Boxing Team of 1919 – Someday it would be nice to let people know what happened in those days, that it wasn’t just a sport, it was a way of survival. They couldn’t get jobs, and if they did, they boxed. There’s a background to it, olympic style boxing, and there’s a lot of grace and athletic ability to it.” – Jay Potvin, Program Director
