A LITTLE BIT OF EASTERN CHARM COMES TO THE WEST
OAKLEY, Utah- A historical Rhode Island diner has been transplanted to small town, Oakley, Utah by Keith Walker, an Oakley resident, in hopes to bring a little charm to his community.
Walker has owned his own business for much of his life and recently sold it. He began getting board and needed a new project. He happened to be traveling through Rhode Island one day and came upon the diner. It had a for sale sign on it and was a little bit worn. Walker saw the potential and immediately made plans to purchase the diner.
Walker said, “ The first thing I thought of when I saw it was, this will look great in Oakley. The town needed something like this.” Plans were soon in the works and three days later he found out that the diner was his. The diner was brought to Utah on a semi and it took a week and a half for it to arrive. As soon as it did, work was underway to do a complete restoration of the diner.
There has been much time and effort put in by Walker himself and countless others to get the diner back to its original glory and they are still working on the project. The diner is scheduled to open for the annual July 4th celebration.
The diner will serve hamburgers, fries and shakes, as well as a few special recipes that came from the original diner that have yet to be revealed.
“We keep making progress everyday and soon it will be ready. I am so anxious to see how people react to this and hope it offers a little something new to this little community,” Walker said.
If you need more information, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Whitney! I love Oakley! I have a cabin up past Smith and Moore House on the Thousand Peaks Ranch. That is awesome! Im excited about the new dinner. I will for sure have to stop in this summer. In the first paragraph it should say bored, not board. Good overall!
I love the topic of your press release, it is so unique! Great job!
Well written. I'm interested. Nice call to action.
Wow, I really think that if you were to send this to a newspaper or a magazine that covered Oakley I think they would jump on this. The story is interesting, and you gave the reporter a tease of information so that they will want to do more research and find out more about this diner. Good job.
State names are offset with commas.
Nicely done overall.
Fix spelling mistakes.
Representing Summit County! Whoopty Whoop!
Nice work Whitney!
