Back in 1984, Bob Houpy began selling hot dogs and other sandwiches in Melrose Park, Illinois. Two years later, Bob partnered with his brother Joe and cousin John Bocian and they opened a second location in Cicero. In 1993 they opened the Berwyn Store and also a fourth spot in Broadview. Bob was born and raised in the same area where Lucky Dog was founded. This helped solidify great customer service, product integrity, and a sense of community for three decades and counting. Every employee is like family and many have been there since day one. Each restaurant features their famous gyros, burgers, and a variety of specialty sandwiches.
