A customer orders at Craig’s Hot Dog on a Stick on the Redondo Beach pier on Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2024. The second ever built, and only independently owned location, opened in 1962, is set to close Sept. 8, 2024. Craig’s Hot Dog on a Stick is the only independently owned store, hence Reidt’s first name at the beginning. It’s able to stand that way, Reidt said, because Barham personally opened it and made the younger Reidt agree to never sell the rights to that spot.
Reidt then bought the Redondo and Torrance restaurants from Barham. The Torrance one eventually closed — but the Redondo Beach location stood strong. Until now.Some customers on Tuesday walked up to the counter asking about the closure, knowing they may have been stopping by for their last fix.Lauren Kim, who was visiting Redondo from Washington state, ordered corn dogs and cheese sticks Tuesday to take back home so her boyfriend could try them from out of state.
