It's almost been a week since a fire occurred in the early morning hours of Saturday, June 5th at the Phillips Avenue Diner in downtown Sioux Falls.  This local favorite quickly notified the public that they will temporarily close due to "considerable damage to the building and interior" from the fire.

Simply put: The entire community was upset by this sad news.  Automatically your hearts went out to the employees of the diner.  Sioux Falls residents naturally wanted to help in any way they could.  Thankfully, the owners of the Phillips Avenue Diner had a plan.

Recently, the restaurant announced on its Facebook page that diner visitors can see their favorite employees around the Sioux Empire and the state of South Dakota.
