Franks Diner

Franks Web Mockup

Website Design & Digital Strategy

Few destinations in Kenosha are as iconic as Franks Diner in Downtown Kenosha. Featured on the Food Network, in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, and visited by celebrities like Guy Fieri, Liberace, Mark Ruffalo, Topher Grace, and more, Franks Diner has been serving sass, scrambled eggs, and American history since 1926. In 2010, Julie Rittmiller and Kevin Ervin took ownership of the diner, vowing to preserve the spirit, history, and heart that made it a local institution.

Today, Franks Diner stands as one of the oldest continually operating diners in America, and remains proudly independent.

A Digital Makeover with Heart

Our partnership with Franks Diner began in 2020 when we helped bring their menu online to support curbside pickup during a critical moment. The need for a fast, functional digital presence was essential and we were proud to help Franks navigate that shift.

In Summer 2025, we launched a brand-new website for Franks Diner, featuring photography by their team member, Nico Munoz. The updated design brings a fresh, vibrant look to match the diner’s unforgettable personality.
