(Fargo, ND) -- A downtown Fargo hotdog restaurant is closing their doors.

Jessica Torres, the owner of the Dogg Pound, announced the closure on social media pages. She says one of the biggest reasons for closing their doors is due to health concerns with her husband, but is also due to the high price of food products.

"If you saw my husband you would have noticed his oxygen tank. Going into this business we were under the assumption that we could work this and make it work as we were anticipating his double lung transplant this year. A month ago we were informed he has to wait two years longer because of a lung cancer diagnoses," said Torres in a social media post, "We decided to spend more time together (not stressed out!) I didn’t think it was anyone’s business. I was honestly just over it all. the stress the cost of food isn’t worth my sanity. So I apologize to my loyal customers. owning a business in Fargo isn’t for the faint hearted."

The building officially closed its doors on July 6th, with a note on the door stating the business would be transitioning to a food trailer for the summer.
