Marino Pagones shared the news in a heartfelt Facebook message on Monday, May 12, explaining that the closure was due to the sale of the building. "This is not how we imagined things ending," the post reads. "As a family-owned business, this decision was not made by will, but by circumstance." The owner has reportedly said he hopes to open elsewhere, though no further information is available at this time.
Its last day of service was on Monday, May 12, 2025.
"Delray Beach, you showed us love, loyalty, and a true sense of community," the post reads. "We are beyond grateful for your support, your smiles, and the countless memories created within these walls."

Opened in 1995, Granger's wasn't just another all-American diner. It was the kind of place where first dates turned into anniversaries, and solo lunches often came with a side of friendly conversation. The menu covered all the diner classics, like loaded Chicago-style hot dogs, grilled chicken sandwiches, sweet potato chips, fried shrimp, and burgers stacked high, plus desserts like brioches and key lime pie that regulars swore by. Beer on tap, generous pours of wine and bourbon, and attentive staff rounded out a typical experience.
The diner known for its hot dogs and sandwiches closed in Delray Beach on Monday, May 12, 2025, after 30 years in business.

This story will be updated if a reopening is announced elsewhere. Until then, so long, Granger's.
