 “I commend Jennifer and Lance for doing an outstanding job in transforming this building.

Craylee’s Diner first opened to the public on Sept. 21, according to its Facebook page.

The page says it has been Mandia’s “dream for many years to open her own diner, and through blood, sweat, and tears [it] has finally come to fruition.” She has more than 20 years of experience in the food-service profession.
