Charlie Snow's Diner

109 N. Main Street - Charlie Snow's Diner, now the site of Fitz on Main. Snow's Ice Cream and Sandwich Shoppe opened in downtown Kernersville in 1947. Charlie Snow ran the business for 37 years, serving up ice cream, good food, and conversation.

But did you know that Snow's wasn't actually a building downtown? Turns out that the ice cream shop was originally an alley between the two brick buildings on either side! Charlie put a roof over the alley, added interior walls, seats, and counters, and opened his shop. Snow's was the place to meet. If you wanted to know where to find someone downtown in the morning, the first place you checked was Snow's. Most likely you'd find whoever you were looking for having a cup of coffee and solving the world's problems over breakfast.

Today, Fitz's on Main occupies the same space and continues to keep the atmosphere that Charlie started 70 years ago.
