Goober’s Diner and Garage opened in late 2020 off North Lincoln Street in the City of Wilmington, DE as a space to gather and enjoy two American classics- vintage cars and comfort food. The two-story, stainless-steel restaurant serves traditional diner cuisine including all day breakfast. The high-tech garage houses part of one of the owners, Vance Kershner’s, personal car collection and is open on special occasions for viewing. Even the name Goober evokes nostalgic charm, as it comes from the character, Goober Pyle, on the old TV sitcom "The Andy Griffith Show". The original three parcels were combined into a single parcel during the project to house both the garage and diner buildings and the associated parking. These spaces compliment each other perfectly and bring a cool, retro aesthetic and a deeper appreciation for the classics to the City of Wilmington.

Apex is so grateful to help bring a fun project like Goober’s to life. Our team was honored to provide a topographic survey of the original 3 tax parcels, site design, grading, erosion controls and layout and provide guidance through the City of Wilmington’s review process for this site. Stop in, enjoy some cars and delicious food and tell them Apex sent you!
