Hot 'n Now is an American fast-food restaurant chain based in Holt, Michigan. Founded in 1984, the chain grew to more than 150 locations throughout the United States at its peak. Once under the ownership of PepsiCo, the chain filed for bankruptcy in 2004, and was then sold to STEN Corporation.

History

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.

Hot 'n Now was founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1984 by William Van Domelen[1] and began franchising activities in 1987. By 1990, the chain operated more than 150 stores in 15 different states. That same year, it was acquired by PepsiCo, which placed operations under its Taco Bell branch.[2]

In 2004 the company filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.[2] A year later, it was sold to STEN Corporation, which also owns the Burger Time chain.

Menu and design

The majority of the chain's locations focused entirely on drive-thru service, featuring a small footprint building with a tall, slanted roof style. Some previous locations were more traditional fast-food locations, complete with seating, and others were combined with gas stations.[3] The chain's menu focuses on low-cost hamburgers, as well as sides such as french fries and milkshakes.
