Local diner established in 1945 announces closure 

Just after the Second World War, a cozy diner opened on Columbus’ East Side, serving breakfast and lunch essentials like biscuits and gravy and burgers.

80 years later, The Grill & Skillet Diner (originally named The Town House from 1945-1965) has announced that they’re closing, effective March 2.

“This has been a very difficult and emotional decision,” said The Grill & Skillet’s announcement on Facebook. The statement mentions they tried to sell their business, located at 2924 Main St., numerous times, but that “it’s time to move on to the next life adventure, whatever that might be.”

“There are no words that clearly express the love and gratitude we feel for our staff that worked so hard to keep the vision alive,” the statement continued. “It is so rare to find such a committed, hardworking, talented, and friendly staff anywhere. We became a family. So very grateful for the love and tremendous efforts, you are all amazing.”

The owners also thanked their incredible customers, who they have personally seen for the past 40 years.
