Fredericksburg Hot Shoppes to close after decades of local service
The Fredericksburg Hot Shoppes, a long time community landmark known for Mighty Moburgers and Orange Freezes, will close after Marriott Corp moves staff to other locations. Manager Edward Larrimore and assistant manager Howard Jenkins share memories of customer loyalty and the store’s era with curb service and a home like atmosphere. The chain, once widespread along the East Coast, now has only 12 locations left near Washington as competition from larger stores increases.
