An exclusive listing from our SVN Masiello Advisors

Jesse Hepler and Dolly Smith have a historic diner for sale in Hillsborough, NH. This diner was originally built in 1953 in New Jersey before it was moved to Hillsborough in 1965. An addition for the dining room and bathrooms were added about 5 years after it came to its final resting place in New Hampshire. When Hanne Hansen and Jay Schechter bought the restaurant in 2020, they saw it as a turn-around project.  Saving the vintage 1953 Kullman diner would be their contribution to the community.  They see the diner, located on one of the main roads, as a part of the social fabric of the town: a great place for food, friends and meeting your neighbors, as their coffee mugs say.

As the diner’s 5th owners, Hanne and Jay have enjoyed the people they have met over the years from the “locals” to the “from-aways.” But it is now time to turn their beloved business over to its next steward. They are looking forward to handing the reins to the 6th generation and being able to sit on the other side of the counter. Until the right buyer comes along, they are dedicated to ensuring the business stays as bustling as ever, complete with new weekly menu specials!

Included in the sale is the real estate, building, improvements, equipment package and business. The property is a half an acre with the 3,474 SF Kullman style diner. All equipment from the immaculately kept kitchen and dining room are included. The owners are also including all of the recipes from their iconic menu.
