LOS ANGELES – Baseball fans (well, Los Angeles Dodgers fans) don’t have to wait for the next home game to dig into a Farmer John Dodger Dog. Fans can now buy the iconic hot dog brand at ampm convenience stores, the MLB team announced this week.

More than 500 Los Angeles-area ampm stores started offering Dodger Dogs on April 5. This marks the second year that ampm and the Dodgers have been official partners. In addition to offering Dodger Dogs, ampm also partnered with the Dodgers in 2015 to open the first-ever ampm branded convenience store at Dodger Stadium that offers fans a destination for a variety of beer, soft drinks, sweet and salty snacks and ampm's hot coffee.

“Ampm will be the only place outside of Dodger Stadium that someone can purchase a freshly cooked Dodger Dog prepared just as they would at one of our games,” said Dodger Senior Vice President, Corporate Partnerships Michael Young. “Bringing together two significant Dodger partners in Farmer John and ampm is something we are proud to showcase throughout Southern California.” 

“We are so proud of the relationship we've built with Dodger fans over the years,” said Donna Sanker, vice president of marketing for BP Fuels North America. "Offering the world-famous Dodger Dog gives the team’s fans and our customers one more reason to stop by ampm for that quick bite to eat and too much good stuff!”

The Dodger Dog was created in 1962 and is the No. 1-selling food item at Dodger Stadium. More than 1.5 million Dodger Dogs are sold per season.
