Dilworth restaurant closing after 13 years
JJ's Red Hots' last Charlotte restaurant will close March 16 after a nearly 13-year run. The hand-crafted hot dog brand is at 1514 East Blvd. in Dilworth.
Owner Jonathan Luther spoke with the Charlotte Business Journal today, saying the decision was still raw, but he remains optimistic for JJ's future. He'll miss seeing the guests and being part of their daily lives from birthday parties to a gathering spot after baseball games.
