We thought we had a little more time. Steve and I are happy and sad to announce that we got word today that our Three C 's Diner that we have owned since 2012 is going to have new owners. We can now move on to our next phase in our lives. For those who don't know, Three C 's was named after our three kids and grandkids. They all have spent a good portion of their lives at the diner or diner house, especially the grandkids. We are nearing retirement and we believe Corning will benefit with new younger owners. They have alot of food experience and will do an amazing job carrying on a great place for families to eat and socialize. We are excited for Corning and the new owners. For all of you out there that still have gift cards and certificates, please come in by Saturday, Feb. 14th so we can honor them. We are going to be open through Saturday Feb 14th. with our Valentines special this Saturday being our last day. This is short notice, but again the new owners who are going to do a great job! When they take over, come on in and tell them HI, and give them a warm welcome. To finish we want to tell all our friends, families and customers that we truly love and appreciate all of you for the last 13 years and we will miss you! What we love most is we have made alot of great friends over the years! We hope you will come see us Friday or Saturday for our final days. Thank you again for helping us get 2nd place in the state of Iowa best breaded tenderloin and the ultimate prize in 2018 of 1st place in the state for "The best breaded tenderloin in Iowa" We got there from hard work and most of all from all of you! Thank you again Steve, Missy, Cody, Candice, Courtney, Kyle, Cassidy, Michael, Serenity, Scarlett, Lily, Violet, Kyler, Parker, Journey, my mom and all of our staff. Thank you also to Sheldon who has been a lifesaver to us and to Joyce who has been with us from day one. See you all this weekend!

Steve Sanson
So we can explain why we have decided to sell the diner, Steve is close to 62 and we have lived at the diner for the past 12 years, we have missed our older grandkids grow up and we have missed a lot of them growing up, we have 3 more grandkids that are 4,4, and 2 and we want to be more involved in them growing up. They all love the diner, probably 100's of pounds of chicken strips and fries and ice cream they have consumed, they will miss the diner they have told us this but want more of our time to have fun with them. We started this and Steve and I said if we do this we will not fail, we will put our life into it, we have had some great staff a long the way, Sheldon has kept us going when we had other commitments, Joyce has been with us from the start, we had Keith and Missy W. and so many others that have made this a success. We have had a lot of high school kids that this was their first job and we tried to get them going in a positive direction so they knew how to work hard and move on. We appreciate all of our current and past employees. We really appreciate our dedicated customers, who keep coming back and we will miss all of you! We don't want to forget our family members who stepped in to help us. We will be around to help whoever wants to take this on, if they want our help. Thank You all, we will be here until someone takes over!
