History
Established in 2025.
MJ’s Mutts officially opened its stand in July 2025, born from a mix of family passion, summertime cravings, and a heartfelt mission to give back.
The idea started with a simple goal: to create a fun, family-friendly spot where locals could grab a great hot dog, sip on fresh-squeezed lemonade, and enjoy a relaxed outdoor vibe — all while honoring our beloved dog MJ, whose memory inspired the name.
Located in the parking lot of Patio Barn in Amherst, NH (our family’s longtime outdoor furniture business), MJ’s Mutts quickly became a community favorite for tasty eats and tail-wagging treats. We proudly donate 100% of all pup cup sales to the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire, keeping MJ’s spirit alive and helping animals in need.
We may be new — just a few weeks in — but we’re built on generations of local roots, a love for food, and a whole lot of heart.
Meet the Business Owner: Vicki W.
MJ’s Mutts was named in honor of our beloved family dog, MJ — a sweet and loyal pup who brought endless joy to our lives. Though she’s no longer with us, her spirit lives on in every hot dog served, every lemonade squeezed, and every tail wag that comes through our stand.
We created MJ’s Mutts not just to share tasty treats, but to carry on her legacy by giving back — 100% of all pup cup sales are donated to the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire to help other animals in need.
MJ was more than a pet — she was family. And MJ’s Mutts is our way of sharing that love with yours.
