The Bel-Aire Diner May Open Once Again in Peabody

A diner in Peabody that had been open for more than 50 years until closing a few years ago may open again if things go as planned. According to an article in the Boston Globe, the Bel-Aire Diner on Route 1 (just north of the Route 128 exit) may indeed become part of a truck stop based on a proposal that could bring the restaurant, an all-night convenience store, and a gas station to the space.

The Globe article mentions that it has been difficult to fill many of the vacant spots in the Peabody stretch of Route 1 during recent times, while further south, the Saugus stretch generally seems to be doing better. The article also states that the owner of the site could receive financing for the project very soon, with work on the spot possibly beginning before the winter.

The address for the former (and possibly future) Bel-Aire Diner is 131 Newbury Street (Route 1) in Peabody.
