OZ Doggz is more than just a hot dog vendor to the Marquette University community; he is a beloved local institution. Situated at the iconic corner of 16th and Wisconsin, OZ Doggz has served countless students, faculty, and residents, creating not just meals, but memories. It

Yet, recently, the City of Milwaukee has stripped OZ Doggz of his license to street vend at this cherished location. This decision has sent shockwaves through our community. The absence of OZ Doggz is not just a loss of convenience; it feels like a part of Marquette's spirit has been taken away.

It's worth noting that street vendors like OZ Doggz contribute significantly to the cultural fabric and economic health of Milwaukee. Street vending supports local economies by providing jobs, offering diverse food options, and invigorating the community with character and diversity.

The restrictions imposed by the city not only impact local small business owners like OZ Doggz but also hinder a vibrant community lifestyle that Marquette University has come to treasure. Students rely on these food vendors as affordable meal options that fit their busy schedules, and removing them limits their choices and affects their daily lives.

By reinstating OZ Doggz's license, the City of Milwaukee can reaffirm its commitment to supporting small businesses and the community's unique character. We urge the city to reconsider, taking into account not only the broad economic benefits but also the deep emotional connections that residents and students alike have with OZ Doggz.

Please sign this petition if you believe in justice for OZ Doggz and preserving the heart of our Marquette community. Together, we can make a difference and bring back the cornerstone of our college experience. We are Marquette!
