Frequently Asked Questions: FAQs

How did you come up with the name HUTdogs?

We wanted to have a unique name that was fun, easy to remember and something a bit unusual like “Kinkos”. We locked ourselves in the office and labored over the name and literally had written down about a hundred options. All of that toil and brainstorming came down to a name being shouted down the hall….”what about HUTdogs?” We looked at each other and the rest is history. We just knew it when we heard it.
