Frankie Frankk’s: Big City Flavor, Small Town Soul
Meet Frank: The Man Behind the Cart
If you've walked down Main Street in Holly Springs around lunchtime, you might have caught the smell of grilled onions in the air. Maybe you heard the friendly voice calling out orders or saw a crowd gathered around a shiny hot dog cart. That’s Frank McGoldrick, the man behind Frankie Frankk’s Hot Dog Cart.
Frank is more than a vendor. He’s a part of the rhythm of downtown. With a steady hand on the grill and a quick smile for every customer, he’s created something that feels personal in a way fast food rarely does. He doesn’t just remember orders. He remembers people.
A Slice of the City in the Heart of Holly Springs
Originally from New York, Frank brought with him the street cart spirit you’d expect to find in New York City. What started as a passion for real, quality hot dogs turned into a business that feels right at home here. He’s not just passing through. Frank lives here, shops here, and shows up for this town every week.
There’s no franchise behind him, no corporate marketing. Just a man, a cart, and a dedication to getting the little things right. His setup might be simple, but the experience speaks for itself. When you stop by, you’re not just getting a hot dog. You’re getting a piece of local character, served with a side of good conversation.
Rooted in the Community
Frankie Frankk’s Hot Dog Cart isn’t just about quick bites and classic street food. It’s become part of the rhythm of Holly Springs—showing up at celebrations, milestones, and small business moments that make this town feel like home.
Take Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce’s SpringsFest, for example. It was more than just a busy day for the cart. It was the site of the First Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest, an event that brought out the laughs, the crowds, and the appetite. Frank didn’t just provide the hot dogs for the contest—his family got involved too. You can frequently find his family working the cart with him - especially at events - and his brother, the owner of Lucky 31 Studios, designed and hand-crafted the hot dog–themed trophy awarded at SpringsFest.
You’ll also find Frankie supporting fellow local businesses - showing up at grand openings and anniversaries. Helping them celebrate with his signature food and friendly energy. Events like these don’t just draw a crowd. They show the kind of mutual support that helps small businesses thrive together.
Whether he’s parked on Main Street for weekday lunches or popping up at neighborhood events, Frank isn’t just running a business—he’s building connections. His cart might roll in and out, but his presence leaves a lasting impression.
