Wojcik first opened Mister Spots restaurant
on State Street's restaurant row in
1986, they literally put everything
they had into it. The 23-year old
entrepreneurs, high school friends
and college roommates at Bowling
Green State University in Ohio, dug
through their pockets just to make
change on their first day in business.
A few times they'd politely ask a customer or two for exact change, leading them down the road to a nearby
teller machine.
They all came back, though, and
on a larger scale they've been coming back ever since. Mister Spots
— named for a $3.00 kitten barely
spared being python fodder when a
Bowling Green, Ohio, pet shop ran
out of the usual reptile fare — has
Mister Spots opened on State Street's restaurant row in 1986 and has been serving
cheesesteaks, hoagies, onion rings, waffle
fries and wings ever since.
