OUR STORY
A LOCAL FAVORITE
A NEW KIND OF PARADISE
Nearly 50 years of history.
A fresh new vibe. One happy bite at a time.
For generations, this spot on South Broad Street has been a place where people come for a good hot dog, a familiar face, and a meal that feels like home. The Nazareth location first opened as Potts’ in 1978, becoming a part of the community and a tradition for countless local families.
Five years ago, Courtney Beahn took over the family business from her father, choosing to keep the tradition alive rather than see it leave the family. After years of carrying on what customers already loved, she knew it was time to take the next step and make the business her own.
And that's how Paradise Dogs was born.
A NEW NAME.
SAME GREAT DOGS.
A NEW PERSONALITY.
Paradise Dogs brings together the flavors and favorites people have loved for years with a fresh, colorful personality inspired by Courtney's love of beaches, sunshine, tropical vibes, and good food.
You'll still find the classic dogs that longtime customers know and love, but you'll also find new creations with bold, island-inspired flavors—including our Island Dog and Paradise Dog.
It's familiar—but different.
It's nostalgic—but new.
And most importantly, it's us.

ONE HAPPY BITE
A fun, colorful spot where great food and a laid-back atmosphere go hand in hand.
MORE THAN JUST A HOT DOG
We believe food should be fun. Paradise Dogs was created to be the kind of place where you can grab a quick bite, bring the family, catch up with friends, or simply stop in because you're craving a really good dog.
We're a small, family-owned business with big plans for the future, and we're excited to continue growing while staying connected to the community that helped get us here. So whether you've been coming here since the Potts' days or you're discovering Paradise Dogs for the first time, welcome. We're glad you're here.
One Happy Bite!
