KENOSHA, Wis.– The owners of Frank’s Diner in Kenosha are selling the beloved restaurant after 17 years.
Julie Rittmiller and Kevin Ervin say they are selling the diner to new owners Pablo and Diana Escribano on July 31.
“We will be selling our home away from home on July 31st,” says Ervin said in a statement. “They love Franks as much as we do. We wouldn’t have sold to him, if we didn’t believe that he had the right attitude, energy, and personality to keep this 100-year-old institution going strong.”
Pablo Escribano is a longtime employee of the business.
The train car diner opened in 1925, and is known for their homemade specials and massive “Garbage Plates.” It is the longest
continuously operating diner in America.
The new owners say nothing is going to change.
“We’ve been at this a long time, and we’re getting a little tired. Pablo has been interested in the diner for about three years now,
so it’s the perfect time to make the change over,” says Ervin.
