[edit] History
"Built by Fodero Dining Car Company in 1954, the original Agawam Diner was opened by the Galanis Family in 1940. The current diner replaced the original in Ipswich's Depot Square in 1954. Moved twice in 1967, first to Peabody and then to its current Route 1 location in Rowley, the Agawam Diner remains a family business."[2]
The first diner was a small Worcester diner bought in 1940 with a $750 deposit. A larger diner was purchased in 1947. In 1954, they upgraded to a Fodero diner from Bloomfield, NJ.[3]
