Little G’s Diner gets town sign approvals as owners plan July opening
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved exterior and monument sign applications for Little G’s Diner at 1365 North Main Street; owners said they plan to open in July and will initially operate six days a week.
The Hampstead Planning and Zoning Commission approved two sign applications Wednesday for Little G’s Diner, allowing an exterior panel replacement and a monument-sign insert at 1365 North Main Street.
The project is a like-for-like replacement of the previous Hampstead Diner light box panel, town staff said; the proposed signage meets size, illumination and code requirements. The commission approved the main exterior sign and then separately approved the monument sign insert with unanimous voice votes.
Owner Chris Coyle introduced himself at the hearing and described the business plans: “We’re gonna do 6 to 3 for right now,” referring to daily hours, and said the target opening is July, with best-case earlier timing if finishing work completes. Commissioners and staff noted the sign fits the existing light box and the monument insert was already prepared.
Commissioners addressed an earlier compliance question. A member noted that at a previous meeting a tenant had placed signage prematurely; staff and the owner said that was unintentional and the current approvals formalize the sign installation.
The commission welcomed the diner’s return to town. The approvals allow the owners to install the exterior panel and have their name appear on the town monument sign; other permits (for occupancy and food service) were not part of the sign approvals and remain subject to usual permitting processes.
