Plans submitted for Denny’s in Aberdeen

The reopening of Denny’s on Heron Street in Aberdeen is a bit closer to reality.

Aberdeen’s Building Department is reviewing plans submitted by the new owner on March 18, Building & Code Compliance Director Bob Waite said Thursday.

“We will need the cost of the project which will not be known until the contractor has been determined. Harbor Architects submitted the plans for the owner,” he said.

“We were approached by the new owner of the building and have submitted a permit package. … Denny’s plans to start work as soon as possible,” responded Alan Gozart of Harbor Architects. “We have been working with Gary Snider, Director of Operations and the Project Manager, Yogesh Desai, who is with Amber Management Services,” he said.

This will be the 20th Denny’s in the state for owner Ajay Keshap of Panorama City, Calif. He said last month the remodel would cost an estimated $500,000 to $700,000, and he plans to hire from 30 to 60 people.
