Original Pantry in downtown to reopen with new owner, same staff

VANCE KORNEGAY, 77, has been going to the Original Pantry for 53 years.

The diner, which had been serving up hot coffee, burgers and breakfast platters for more than 100 years, was acquired this week by real estate developer Leo Pustilnikov.

Pustilnikov bought the Original Pantry's nearly 8,000-square-foot building on James M. Wood Boulevard with the blessing of hospitality union Unite Here Local 11. The union, which represents Pantry workers, inked a deal with Pustilnikov ensuring that the diner would keep union representation and bring back all 25 workers who lost their jobs when it closed in March.

Pustilnikov has an eclectic set of real estate interests, having amassed high-end properties from Beverly Hills to Redondo Beach alongside a slew of supportive housing units on Skid Row. He plans to reopen the diner on New Year's Eve, if he's able to acquire the necessary permits and licenses in time.
