Is Hot n’ Now still open?
There was one remaining Hot n' Now location in Sturgis, MI, but recently a second location has been opened, in Wayland, MI.
A few months ago, a friend asked me if I’d ever been to Hot n’ Now. I said no, and he was appalled. So we immediately drove from Elkhart to Sturgis Michigan.
He got the famous Olive burger, which is in the picture above and I got a normal cheeseburger.
We also got fries and onion rings to share. The crispy fried foods were exactly as you would expect and lifted my mood as intended.
It seems like they stayed consistent with the branding and menu, even though they now operate independently. I noticed in the drive-through they had Hot n’ Now merch that they were selling.
It seems like this is a very nostalgic fast food place for a lot of people because when I posted about it on Facebook, it went kind of viral locally.
