Swanky Franks in Norwalk Closes

The restaurant is closing its doors after more than 60 years in the hot dog business.

NORWALK, CT — The Original Swanky Franks in Norwalk has closed its doors after more than 60 years.

"They say that all good things must come to an end... After 60+ years in the city of Norwalk, and in our family...the Renzuella/ Satterfield family have decided to close the doors of The Original Swanky Franks... the sign on the door says it all," the restaurant posted on its Facebook page.

The family had planned to put the building up for sale in a few months, but manager Traci Satterfield Meriwether sustained an injury during a fall, which sped up the closure, according to the Norwalk Hour.
