If you’ve ever eaten at Ted’s Hot Dogs, you know about the deliciousness. Some of you however might not have had the privilege of meeting the staff behind the scenes. My dad went to high school with Teddy and has remained friends and a coworker ever since. Following a “change in management”, My dad along with some former employees and family members started a group on facebook to support Ted and Beth, formally of Ted’s.

If you can spread the word, about this just by joining the group and inviting people who would be interested as well. More exciting news is coming soon.

Background:

> NOTICE!! Please read the following if you are familiar with Ted’s Hot  
> Dogs.  
> A few months ago, a coup d’etat of sorts took place within the family  
> business of Ted’s Hot Dogs. Certain family members and allies convinced an ill  
> and vulnerable family patriarch that they were not getting their fair  
> share of the riches made possible by son Ted along with the help and hard work  
> of his wife Beth, as well as Richard and Chuck. They were called back to  
> the business when it was on the brink of bankruptcy and turned the company  
> around to become stronger and more profitable than ever. The patriarch  
> (Spiro) seems to me to have been brainwashed by his ex-wife, Patty (now his  
> co-habitant/caretaker) along with his daughter Thecly, his first ex-wife, Marina  
> (Ted and Thecly’s mother), his brother Peter and their respective family  
> members, into believing that Ted was trying to take the business away from  
> him. Spiro promptly fired his son and his wife, Beth, Richard and Chuck. Now  
> that they have control of the business, they have already started steering  
> the company back towards it’s troubled times. They have also failed to  
> offer a “buyout” to Ted or offer any serious compensation to him or to Beth,  
> Richard or Chuck for what they had built the company into, pretty much  
> kicking them to the curb. I’m writing this without solicitation, because it  
> makes me sick to see how these people have been treated. Ted and Beth were  
> there when my family and I were in dire straits and in danger of losing our  
> home. They were there each time I was hospitalized, making sure we had what we needed and to assure me that I still had a job, not only waiting for me  
> when I was ready, but also on terms that worked for my family. There are many  
> other managers/employees who have similar stories and experiences with Ted  
> and Beth. There were some managers who were given second and third chances  
> (those of you who have guessed Mike Murphy would be correct) when if they  
> were with any other company would be in the unemployment line. Recently (February 3rd to be exact) prices were raised at all locations. This  
> reeks of unadulterated GREED. I’m asking everyone who reads this post to "Like  
> " it and join us in boycotting Ted’s until the “Spiro group” does the  
> right thing (extremely unlikely) or until Ted & Beth along with Richard and  
> Chuck can regroup and start another business reflecting the values that mean  
> the most to all of us. I’m also requesting that you post it to your status  
> as well.
