Garretson man takes over as the new owner, DJ & master chef at Luverne’s Dang Fine Dine (Preview)

Date:

A local favorite food spot just across the border in Luverne, MN is Vinnie’s Dang Fine Dine, specializing as an old school lunch counter diner. Except, it hasn’t been open for a while. That all changed on Nov. 18, 2019 when a new owner took over and they reopened for business.

This past July the former owner took a vacation and then decided to sell. This was a great turnkey business opportunity, and Leroy Austin of Garretson decided to make a go of it.

“I’ve worked in the restaurant business off and on for most of my life,” Austin said.  “What I’ve missed about it the most is the customer interaction. When I investigated this opportunity, everything just seemed right. It was about as perfect as it could be. I knew I could do it and that I’d enjoy doing it.”

Austin has worked for Raven Industries for a number of years and has also owned a plastics fabrication business.

“I have worked for a big company, and I’ll admit I wasn’t really satisfied by it,” he said.
