I spent much of my youth in diners, but they were all kind of glitzy, new ones. Not saying they’re not cool in their own way. But there’s nothing like a retro diner complete with a Kiss My Grits Flo waitress. BTW, my favorite movie ever? Diner.
If you dream of owning a vintage diner, be it for business or housing, the prices are actually not that outrageous. Here’s what’s available. Be sure to check out the interior shots when you follow the links. They are spectacular!
*More diners at Buy a Diner.
“Mom’s Diner” in Avenal, NJ. $25k. Must be moved from site.
This one in Avoca, NY also has to be moved. Avoca is way up there, if you haven’t guessed. $63k.
Cookstown Diner in Southern NJ. $27k.

We’ve seen pictures of the Cookstown Diner on flickr. Can you confirm if it has reopened?
We would suggest people take a look at our BuyADiner.com.

The only Flickr photos I saw were from 2007. Are there more recent ones?

I love vintage Diners! We crossed the country back and forth and the shiny aluminum Diner was always a beacon of welcome and great food.

This page http://ineeditall.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-very-own-diner.html turned up in our blog search. Not sure how recent the inside picture is.

Catherine, next trip, tour the country IN a shiny aluminum trailer!
That’s the Flickr page I came up with too. The other blog links to the same thing I do. You can view interior shots of all the diners on their home page.
