Tracy Brown-Gallardo said the deal started when Kim, the owner of 32 years, expressed her plans to retire, lamenting leaving customers behind.
Brown-Gallardo initially reacted to the suggestion of taking over Jim's as a joke but recognized the importance of keeping the diner alive.
Brown-Gallardo emphasized the personal connection with the diner, remembering how Kim served her family for over three decades, marking their friendship.
Mission Language and Vocational School will preserve Jim's legacy by employing graduates from its culinary program while retaining longtime cook Beto.
