Dean's Diner

Rt. 22,  Blairsville, Pa.
Located 42 miles east of Pittsburgh in the foothills of the beautiful Allegheny Mountains.
Serving the public for 24 years. We never close.

There were at least three Dean Diners. The original Dean's opened in the summer of 1927 in Indiana, PA at Philadelphia and Seventh St. The Blairsville location, 16 miles south of Indiana, was operating as early as 1934. A third location opened in 1937 in Huntingdon, about 80 miles east of Blairsville. The Blairsville diner was damaged by fire in 1942, but was either restored or rebuilt. All three locations seem to have been operating in the 1950s. I could only find the Blairsville diner still in operation.
