A Necessary Upgrade for Customer Safety

The decision to auction off the iconic booth was not made lightly, as emphasized by the owners of Holsten’s. Due to the age and structural integrity of the booth, which has undergone numerous repairs over the years, the safety of patrons became a primary concern.

Transitioning to a New Era While Preserving the Legacy
