History
The first Boomarang Diner was opened by Charles Degraffenreid in 1998 in Muskogee, Oklahoma. That original diner, located on Eastside Boulevard, closed in September 2024.[3] Two additional locations were opened in Muskogee before the franchise expanded across the state of Oklahoma.[4] In December 2017, the 50th Boomarang Diner debuted in Holdenville, Oklahoma.[5] In 2018, additional locations opened in Ponca City, Kingfisher and Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
The Boomarang Diner trademark and franchise is owned by Boomarang Diners, Inc., with corporate offices located in Shawnee, Oklahoma.[6]
Charles Degraffenreid's sons, Steve and Ron Degraffenreid, manage the franchise and corporation.
Decor
Boomarang's decor is reminiscent of the traditional "soda shops" and diners of 1950s.[6] Pop icons of the era, as well as historic photos from local communities, can be found in every location.
