Closings

Gateway Diner, Westville

Just three nights before their final day of operation, the owners of the three-decade-old Gateway Diner announced they were forced to close due to the Route 47 bridge-rebuild project. The Gloucester County structure had sat beside Route 47 for nearly 83 years; it originally opened as Joe’s Diner in 1940. Gateway’s Facebook announcement of the closure sparked over 600 comments of condolences. The diner’s final serving was Sunday at 9 pm.
