5 & Diner Franchise
'50s-style diner
Kenneth E. Higginbotham opened the first 5 & Diner restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona in 1987. Restaurants feature a '50s theme, complete with jukeboxes, hostesses in poodle skirts and hula hoop contests. The menu includes favorites like hamburgers, sandwiches and salads. Breakfast is served all day, and every 5 & Diner offers blue plate specials that include sloppy joes, fish and chips, and spaghetti with meat sauce.
5 & Diner restaurants also have a soda fountain that serves milkshakes, egg cremes, floats and flavored sodas.
