History

Established in 1929.

Way back, in the late 20’s, Pete and his wife, Donna, and their children, Walt, Chris, and Olga, started the very first «Pete’s» on the corner of Lull and Wesson in Pontiac. A few years later, «Pete’s» moved to Saginaw and Jackson in Pontiac. It was a much smaller establishment (a tin building) with window service, serving hot dogs, pop, coffee, and donuts.

They expanded in 1936, moving across the street to a larger building, and in 1949, the old tin building was replaced with a new brick building that featured two horseshoe-​island counters. In 1974, Ed joined his father as a partner of Pete’s Coney Island. In 1985, Pete’s Coney Island II opened in Clarkston. In 1997, the new home of Pete’s Coney II was built on top of Waterford Hill.

In 2007, Ed & Andy opened a new location in Orion, a mile and a half north of I-​75 on Baldwin Road. Stop by and see how we’re continuing the magic of Pete’s.
