The TU story explained how former owners Glen and Colleen Glindmyer came to the decision saying that they had thoughts about leaving the industry for years. Adding that "the rigors of running a restaurant impeded them as they age."

The rumors are true!

In a Facebook post seen by thousands and shared by hundreds, new owner Tiffany Angelides-Slingerland wrote about the rumors of the Schenectady County diner, finally reopening.

"The rumors are all true we will be reopening Gibby's and we hope everyone is as excited as we are!! It will remain a good old-fashioned family-run diner with homemade food...We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. We cannot thank everyone enough for their continued support as we start this new adventure!! "
