Lum's was an American family restaurant chain based in Florida with additional locations in several states.

It was founded in 1956 in Miami Beach, Florida, by Stuart and Clifford S. Perlman[1] when they purchased Lum's hot dog stand for $10,000.

Under the brothers, Lum's began aggressively expanding and franchising; the signature item was hot dogs steamed in beer.

[3] At the time of sale, the company owned and franchised 400 stores in the continental US, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Europe.

[9][failed verification] In 2010 a Lum's opened in Seekonk, Massachusetts,[10] but later closed, leaving the Nebraska restaurant as the sole location.
