Linda's Diner

Linda's Diner Good Food, Great Prices & Friendly Atmosphere! Take Outs Welcome! After 5 years, Ann was ready to move on.

In 1976, Tom Edwards, of Tom’s Diner, approached Carl Goodwin with an idea to build a small diner on this piece of property. Beginning with only the bar and nine barstools, Tom Edwards ran it for one year under the name “Tom’s Diner.” Tom then turned the business over to his son, Mike Edwards. Mike ran the family business for approximately one year before deciding that he did not want to follow in

his father’s footsteps. Once Mike decided the Diner was not for him, Ann Hollingsworth took it over under the name “Ann’s Diner.” Ann then came up with the idea to add on a front room with small tables to serve more customers. This is when Linda’s father, Carl Goodwin, came to her at age 20 offering the Diner to her. Linda had previously been a waitress at Fleet’s Restaurant and jumped at the idea. She changed the name to “Linda’s Diner” and began her journey. Linda has a husband, Dale, and two daughters, Amy and Leslie. “I could not have done it without the support of my family and God.” Says Linda, “and I also could not have done it without faithful employees and customers like you!”
