A staple in the Old Market is set to be demolished to make way for a new, six-story Marriott hotel.

The Diner has been a favorite brunch and lunch spot for years. In February, co-owners told 6 News a $1.5 Million price tag the property The Diner currently sits on was out of their financial reach.

Tuesday, City Council members approved TIF funds of nearly $2 million to allow developers to move forward with Marriott hotel construction.

While the owners will have to close their doors in the Old Market, they are not ruling out the possibility of opening up at a new location. Construction of the new hotel won’t start until after the College World Series. Officials did not detail when The Diner will close or when its building would be demolished.
