It's probably because it's a place is probably used as a photoshoot.

“have a safe weekend - from your friends at the diner” really just hits hard man. they clearly showed care for their diner and valued their customers and for them to smash their business is downright terrible.

The opening scene was very telling with the McDonald's sign looming over the diner.

One reason why I don't slam Mcdonalds franchisees THAT much is the average Mcds doesn't actually net an owner what some think (it's over 100k typically) but the work owners put in makes them earn it. I briefly worked at McDs for 6 months and the owner of those (they owned 12) built a 1.5 mil house. My only beef was that they don't like paying OT or holiday pay. Not to say that they COULD probably raise wages 1-2 bucks across the board. But if you progress, salaries are fairly good. You CAN Make 6 figures at McDs eventually. Back to overhead and food estab ownership, some people definitely think that even if you hire a solid manager, you'd free. LOL

Happens all the time

In the 1980s and into the 1990s, there was a trend to set up these faux 1950s diners. Most of the surviving ones were established during that time period, but, with the passage of time, they're not as common as they once were. Of course, there are a few places left today that are REAL 1950s establishments (or similar style that go back as far as the 1930s), but this one definitely isn't.

Always loved the look of these places! It's the Denny's "Classic Diner" concept/format from the early 2000's. There are actually quite a few of them. Interestingly the ceiling is made of plastic. It's a drop ceiling grid just like acoustical tiles, except there are drop-in plastic panels made to look like old fashioned tin ceilings. Keep up the awesome work!

In Colorado the chain was Gunther Tooties. I pulled up their current website there are none in Colorado anymore and the new design looks like Starbucks cloned them. There was one near Cinderella City and in Arvada. Correction: found the Colorado ones. This is copied from their site: The first Gunther Toody’s opened in Colorado Springs, CO. A small 100-seat diner came alive and brought with it the sights, sounds and feel of the 1950’s. From the moment the doors opened, Gunther Toody’s became an American classic. Folks lined up around the block to get breakfast and burgers. After much success, Gunther Toody’s ventured to Denver, opening its 2nd location in 1989. It was not long before there was a huge following for our fresh home-cooked food and sassy energetic service, all presented in a fun 50’s atmosphere. Today, with 5 locations in Denver and Colorado Springs, Gunther Toody’s represents what it means to be a great American diner.

in the late 90s early 00's Denny's refurbished many of their resturaunts to a 50's theme. This was after many lawsuits claiming sexual harrassment. I'm guessing business was failing so they needed a new look. I'm guessing it worked for many.

That juke box is a reproduction. Not that big of a deal.

That place still has a change too make it with good food pricing and management.

Such a nice place! It looks a bit like one of those typical scenes from end times movies: abandoned stores, deserted streets, empty bars with cups, glasses, cutlery and plates seemingly used for only a few moments before the people, patrons and staff, disappeared, perhaps hunted by monsters, abducted by aliens or escaped because of a chemical, biological or nuclear attack and then died in their hiding places.

This diner reminds me of Arnold’s from the show “Happy Days”. I would definitely see Richie, Ralph, Fonzie and potsie all sitting together at a table talking about stuff and sharing a few laughs and Ralph saying “ I still got it” and I can hear potsie on stage singing.

Hi there. So it looks like water contamination was the reason for the sudden closure of the restaurant. I hope noone got sick or worse before that was discovered. Also, I wonder what it was like for all who worked there to learn they were out of business and or a job with little or no notice. Thank you so much for this video.

Interesting to see that the diner part looks like it's been abandoned for just a couple of years or even less but the kitchen looks like it's been left for at least 10 years. Of course a kitchen sees a different kind and more intense activity but there was obviously cleanliness issues there.

What a cool find. Thank you for showing us around!

Atmosphere draws them in but great food and service keeps them coming back. Keep your restaurant clean, fix any damaged upholstery quickly. Pay your cooks well, great waitresses write their own paycheck with tips. Welcome your customers and thank them upon leaving. Locals will support you if they enjoy it and tourists will remember to stop there again (or not to) depending on your operation.

I LOVE THAT JUKEBOX!!!!! BROOO!!! What a shame. This place is so gorgeous.....😞

Minor easily fixed problems though noted will be waived upon immediate correction, though if a return inspection finds the same minor offenses repeated it will weigh against them. The Rat situation usually calls for an inspection to determine if the rodents have taken up residency, if it's discovered that the rodents arrived with a shipment of food, the place is given 24 hours to discard the contaminated shipment, clean up the place and make sure that it is clear of any further unwanted guest, if the rat's are found to have taken up residency in the building, the place is to remain closed until all vermin have been eliminated, any potential entrances for them have been sealed, and the Resturant is cleaned and purged of any potentially contamined food and passes a follow up inspection. At least that's the way it's supposed to work. Again, it depends upon where it's located.
