- History: This diner has been open under several names
and owners since 1954. Glenn and Margaret Richards ran it as Richard's
Grill until 1975 (though it sat at a different location until 1965).
Irene and Louis Knapik called it the Lunch Box from 1976 to 1981.
Martin Patrick ran it as Chuck's Stop Cafe from 1982 to 1992, when
it was sold to Darlene Vigil. Following Vigil's death in 2000, Tom
Fincham purchased the diner and it's been rented to operators since
then.
Operators since Fincham purchased the building have included
Moneka Davis, who ran it as Mo's Rainbow Grill; Mark and Lorraine
Nigbur who called it Mr. Big's; Leroy Rael--son of Darlene Vigil--who
called it Darlene's Chuck Stop; and Jo-Etta Parada who operated it
as Jo's Diner. The current owner is Stephen P. Gargon.
