The Ruby’s Five Points Drive-In, the newest Ruby’s Diner location, will be opened by the end of March or beginning of April 2010. The outlet will be the first to feature an authentic, old-fashioned outdoor carhop with 12 drive-in spaces, complete with roller skating servers and rotating reel of 1940s movies.
This opening comes after years of renovation to the historic Five Points Building -one of the last historic properties still standing in the newly redeveloped central city of Anaheim.
The restaurant spans 4,100 square feet space displaying authentic retro design and ambiance of a historic roadhouse. The look is complete with mahogany woods, leatherette booths and carefully selected fixtures, evocative of the 1940s era. The designers are trying to obtain iconic photographs, paintings and art objects from the past to decorate the diner’s walls, working in association with the Anaheim Historical Society and the Anaheim Museum.
Ruby’s Diner operates and franchises more than 40 casual-dining restaurants that recreate the feel of a 1940s diner.
