More Information

Constantine G. Koutroulakisw (Gus) inherited Pete's Famous Hot Dogs from his Uncle. Conveniently located on 2nd Avenue in Birmingham, Alabama, beneath a nostalgic blue sign, is the location of Pete's Famous Hot Dogs. This one of a kind hot dog stand truly is a famous landmark in the city of Birmingham, Alabama, and is quickly on it's way to enjoy world wide fame as the single best place in the world to enjoy a hot dog, prepared just the way you like it. The original hot dog store has been in operation in Birmingham since 1915. Although, according to current proprietor Gus Koutroulakis, it didn't actually become Pete's Famous Hot Dogs until 1939. At that time, Gus' uncle Pete and a friend purchased the hot dog store with money won from a Pinochle game. In 1946, Gus' uncle Pete bought out his business partner and renamed the hot dog shop after himself and his famous dogs, and Pete's Famous Hot Dogs was born.Gus took over management of the family business a couple of years later, and has not only served as Manager of Pete's Famous Hot Dogs ever since, but has also worked the grill himself. This means that the Pete's Famous Hot Dogs we enjoy today is exactly the same as it was decades ago, when another generation lined up for the savory treat that is known as a Pete's dog.

What our customers are saying

★★★★★

I purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.

I received my print within days of ordering, and it arrived well packed in a mailing tube. The print is high quality and exactly as advertised. I will use Historic Pictoric again in the future!

Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.

★★★★★

I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.

Aaron C.
★★★★★

The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.

I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.

What is Infinity Framing?

Wow Factor

Infinity frame

The image is printed on a durable fabric, which is stretched inside a slim aluminum frame. It’s transportable, interchangeable, and easy to assemble. Our infinity frame pieces for large sized prints will lend a “wow” factor to your space.

Better than Canvas

The colors in our fabric prints are crisp and true to life, with a matte, glare-free finish. With our printing process, the colors permeate the fabric, rather than settling on top, which reduces the risk of scratching or fading. Your art will last a long time!

Easy to Install

Assemble the frame in minutes, insert the fabric print into the grooves, and your art is ready to hang!

Statement Piece

Easy and modern way to display large art in your home or office
