Oscar Mayer Wienermobile To Roll Into Berkeley

BERKELEY, NJ — Bayville ShopRite will soon have a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A. The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile tour stops at the grocery store at 2 p.m. Saturday.

The Wienermobile will provide free hot dog samples and more. Six different Wienermobiles travel the nation at any given time.

Carl Mayer cooked up the original truck in 1936. Since then, it evolved into its current form: a 27-foot hot dog atop a sleek yellow frame.

The truck will sit outside Bayville's ShopRite until about 4:30 or 5 p.m., the store said. The Wienermobile will visit Lacey's ShopRite from 9 a.m. until about 2 p.m., when it travels to Bayville.
