LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On the eve of
the National League Championship Series starting back on
October 15th, two iconic hot dog
stands, Pink's Hot Dogs of Los
Angeles and Wiener's Circle of Chicago, laid down a heavy wager that showed their
passion for their home town teams.
If Cubs win the series, Pink's Hot Dogs would buy Wiener's
Circle Chicago Dogs for their first 108 customers on the same day
as Game #1 of the World Series and would also donate $1,908 to Wiener's Circle's favorite charity of
the Cubs manager, Joe Maddon.
108 is the number of years since the Cubs won the World Series and
1908 represents the last year the Cubs won the World Series.
If the Dodgers won the playoffs, then Wiener's Circle was to buy
a Chili Cheese Dog for Pink's customers for one hour and also would
donate to Pink's chosen charity 100% of two hours of sales at
Wiener's Circle.
We all know the result and Pink's is paying off, but with a
broken heart, since they love the Dodgers.
Upon defeat, Pink's tweeted -
"A #21BunSalute 2 @TheWienerCircle & @cubs 4
being #NLChampions!
Now, go & represent the #NL in the #WorldSeries @CubsJoeMadd
#WFlag
#Chicago"
Cubs fans, start lining up today at Wiener's Circle on N. Clark
Street at 10:30am, the first day of
the 2016 World Series Game, for your Chicago Dog compliments of
Pink's Hot Dogs. In addition, Pink's will be donating
$1908 to Joe
Maddon's Respect 90 Foundation.
Pink's latest tweet:
