Sharon Wimer, who has worked at Cooter’s Place in Sperryville for the last five years, was wondering what she would do when the famous Dukes of Hazzard roadside museum closed for good this month.
One recent morning she was eating breakfast at Diana’s Country Diner on Sperryville’s historic Main Street, when owner Diana Sekford told Sharon she was ready to give up her business if she could find someone to take over her lease. Bingo!
Just like that, Sharon Wimer saw her future unfolding and after a quick call to the building owner, the Blue Ridge Diner was bom.
The new Main Street eatery opened last week and by the weekend was already doing a booming business thanks to the heavy flow of autumn leaf-peepers who visit Rappahannock County every fall.
“We were very busy all weekend and by Sunday night the girls were all worn out,” said Wimer, referring to her waitresses.
