The Famous Hot Weiner is a
tradition that began in 1923 when Nicholas E.
Mavros opened Hanover's first fast food restaurant.
By 1928, the original Famous Hot Weiner was
operating at its present location on the corner of
York Street and Broadway. In 1957, Nicholas' son
and daughter-in-law, E. Tim and Georgia Mavros,
acquired the business and operated it for the next
38 years. As the town of Hanover and the
surrounding communities grew so did the opportunity
for the third generation to open a second location.
In January 1973, grandson Nicholas T. Mavros and
son-in-law Pete G. Keriazes began operation of
Famous Hot Weiner North at the corner of Dart Drive
and Eichelberger Street. They continued that
operation for 25 years and also acquired the
downtown location in 1995. In January 1999,
great-grandsons George P. Keriazes and Timothy P.
Keriazes acquired both businesses and became the
fourth generation to operate the
restaurants.
Our weiners have been
voted #1 Hot Dog in York County by York Daily
Record polls and #1 Hot Dog in South Central
Pennsylvania by the Harrisburg Patriot News. We
have also been featured on Lancaster WGAL-TV's
Live! show. These are all honors for which we are
grateful, but our greatest sense of pride comes
from the smiles and positive comments from our many
satisfied customers. The repeated patronage of our
establishments gives us the confidence to look
toward a bright future with possibilities for
further expansion. We are looking forward to
keeping pace with our growing community and the
expanding families of our customers.
Our sandwiches and soups
are made of quality ingredients. Our "Famous Chili
Sauce" recipe has been passed from family member to
family member. The "Everything" on our sandwiches
is Famous Chili Sauce, mustard and onions, but you
may have it your way.
We pledge to continue our
efforts to earn your business, and we look forward
to welcoming you into one of our restaurants very
soon. We hope you will enjoy our "Famous"
sandwiches and appreciate the years of experience
and pride that go into each one!
