Hot Dog Mike the Storefront's owner announced Monday morning that his business is closing its doors "for good."

"[This is] not a joke or a publicity stunt," Michael Juiliano, also known as "Hot Dog Mike," posted on the restaurant's Facebook page. "Hot Dog Mike is another failed business. I appreciate those that supported me but unfortunately it wasn't enough."

The restaurant, 402 E. Third St., has been open for almost three months, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

Juilano established Hot Dog Mike the Storefront after he had carted a mobile hot dog stand around Little Rock for about three years.
