Gainesville's oldest restaurant closes Saturday after 82 years, Louis' Lunch at Southeast Fifth Avenue and Second Street, which is also open today, serves the last of its hamburgers and shakes from 9:30 am. to 5:30 pm. today.

Owner Tom Pennisi, 75, cited slow business and his age for his decision to close the diner and sell the property.

His father, Louis Pennisi, opened the business in 1928.
