"Definitely, it's gonna be a lot more exposure so you know we're definitely looking forward to that foot traffic definitely," he said.

Workers at Newchas said that they can offer more than the standard street hot dog.

"We also have a lot of Argentine products like alfahodas, meira lunas, and we have a variety of meat, veggie, and sweet empanadas," De La Santos said.
