Nearly Century-Old Fast Food Chain Shuts Down
Kasper’s Hot Dogs, one of the oldest fast-food chains in the U.S. with a 95-year history, has closed its final locations, marking the end of an era for the nostalgic brand, which was founded in the 1920s and known for its hot dogs in Oakland and Concord. The chain's closure follows a broader trend of long-standing restaurant closures, including McDonald's, which also started as a simple menu operation.
