Carpenters Diner in Waterloo closed its doors for the final time in 2012, according to an article from the Waterloo/Cedar Falls Courier.

The restaurant closed after the death of one of the owners, John Carpenter. They were in business for nearly 37 years. However, at the begininng of July the Facebook page started to become active again.

More details came out in a Facebook post from the diner's future neighbors Basal Pizza.

"A Waterloo institution is making its return to Downtown in the relatively near future! Carpenter’s Diner! They were located across from the Police Station for around 20 years and will now be across the street from us in the old Subway."

There is no word on the official opening date, but it looks like Carpenters will probably open for business sometime in 2023.
