The 5 and Dime Canteen owners are no strangers to feeding a hungry crowd and delivering customer satisfaction. Matt Crowley and Tim Marotto also own GoldBurgers right next door. In 2017, they decided to try a different kind of restaurant that offers a breakfast menu and a different style than its sister restaurant.
