Resurrecting America’s Great Old Diners

When Harwin first became seriously interested in flipping diners, he road-tripped across the U.S., canvassing the diner scene. Most of the diners were concentrated in the Northeast, as a handful of companies, including Fodor, Silk City, and Jerry OMahony, had mass-produced classic diners, some of them incentivized by Franklin Roosevelts New Deal economic programs after World War II.
