ChesDel Diner Demolition and History

The beloved ChesDel diner, a Delaware staple for 38 years, is finally coming down—replaced by a Royal Farms gas station and store after decades of neglect. Once a bustling community hub, the diner fell silent in 2018, and its adjacent 18th-century farmhouse also meets the wrecking ball. Though the historic review board approved the demolition, they urged Royal Farms to honor the site’s legacy with a commemorative sign. With a $10 million development plan, the future holds new retail—but the memory of generations served at ChesDel won’t vanish quietly.
