Since the Depression-era, it has been a comfort food port-in-the-ivory-tower-storm for students, townies and alumni alike at Penn State, and it may soon close its doors for good. However, Its signature product will live on.
According to a Tuesday night report from WTAJ-TV in Altoona, Ye Olde College Diner — a fixture on College Avenue — will close but will continue to produce their iconic Grilled Sticky Buns at a new bakery facility in nearby Boalsburg, Pa.
Dan Rallis, owner of the 24-hour diner, told the CBS affiliate that the lease expires in April 21, but will close by April 1 if no one steps in to take over the business.
