What goes around comes around, and the classic diner has enjoyed a resurgence, thanks to the popularity of retro styling. The look of the diner from the Golden Age was rediscovered in 1988 when the Kullman Company (which built the entrance to this exhibit) manufactured new diners based on old designs. In the 1990s chain restaurants also took advantage of the nostalgic trend by advertising diner-style fare and cloaking some of their buildings in diner garb.
