It's appropriate that the announcement would be made during Hot Dog Month and it'll make a lot of serious hot dog fans across Western New York happy.  Sahlen's will finally be selling their famous foot-long hot dogs in grocery stores.

It'll mark the first time in the long history of Sahlen's Meats that the company will sell pre-packaged foot-long hot dogs for distribution to grocery stores.  Wegman's will get their first shipments next month with Tops and other stores to follow.

There have been some local stores that have sold Sahlen's foot-longs in their deli departments, but they've bought them from restaurant wholesalers.  These will be 1.5 pound packages with eight foot-long hot dogs per bag.
