Property Description

A LANDMARK HISTORICAL and SUCCESSFUL CURRENTLY OPERATING DINER is being offered FOR SALE for the VERY FIRST TIME! The sale includes the property, the business, a liquor license, trade fixtures, and intellectual property. Originally constructed as a Diner Car in 1941, and is said to be the last prewar diner brought to the anthracite region that still stands today! The building has been remodeled and added to through modern day to accommodate the ever changing demands of the times, with several recent improvements having been done. This property and business have been in the same family since its inception and has been owner-operated for over 83 successful years. It is located in the desirable and growing Tamaqua Area, at the intersection of two main state highways. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, typical traffic counts at this location are approximately 20,000 cars per day. A nearby farmers market also significantly increases traffic on Wednesdays. The building has a new roof (installed in 2023), as well as new gutters and downspouts. Further improvements have been made, and details are available in the associated documents. The property has ample parking to accommodate a large clientele, and the lot has recently been resurfaced. Two Carrier Rooftop Heating units were replaced in 2015 and 2018. There are also 2 Fire Suppression systems and 3 Fire extinguishers on site. Parking lot recently seal coated-8/25. Please call the broker for more information. Serious inquiries only.
