The Red Lion Diner has been a staple at the Route 206/70 Circle since 1973.
Diners in the Philadelphia region continue to drop like plates in the kitchen.
The latest iconic eatery to close is the Red Lion Diner, a staple on the Route 70/206 circle in Southampton, Burlington County for 50 years. “It’s bittersweet for us as all,” co-owner Paul Tsiknakis told the Inquirer Thursday. “A lot of blood and sweat went into that place.”“With a heavy heart we must inform you that the Red Lion Diner has sold. We will not be opening again. We appreciate all the support and patronage throughout the years. It was a difficult decision however we chose what was best for our families,” the statement read.
Tsiknakis said a developer purchased the property to build a convenience store and gas station, aka, a Wawa. He said the COVID-19 pandemic, and the associated food shortages and rise in costs, walloped the business. The diner, he said, “mastered” takeout, but that created problems of its own.
