Bob & Edith's will be opening its newest diner in Old Town Alexandria at 7 a.m. Monday, Feb. 28, the company announced.
The diner has taken the place of the former Ernie's crab restaurant just east of the King Street Metro at 1743 King St.
Bob & Edith's got its start in the late 1960s when Robert L. Bolton (Bob) and his wife, Edith, purchased "Gary's Donut Dinette" and changed it to Bob & Edith's Diner.
There are now several locations — three in Arlington, one in Springfield and one in the Huntington neighborhood. The same family still owns the operation.
The King Street restaurant will be the company's sixth diner when it opens.
