Pipers was one of many restaurants that has been in
that building at the State Line in Delmar.
The building started as Vern’s drive In, changed to the Stateline
Restaurant and then to Orrell’s Surrey restaurant and about 1982 became Pipers. It was run by Alex and Pete Bubas. Pipers stood out because of the bright green roof it had.
The Bubas were successful restaurant owners before
taking on Pipers and in the early 1990s they had three Roy Rogers restaurant franchises
(two in Salisbury and one in Cambridge), Pipers and Zia’s.

The family lived in Delmar. Their parents, Jerry and Margaret Litras Bubas
also lived in Delmar.
All restaurants are a boom to the local economy
between employees, venders who supply the restaurant, and newspapers who take
advertising for the restaurant they inject some major money into the
economy. At the peak when they had the
three Roy Rogers, Pipers and Zia they employed over a hundred and fifty people.

About 1991 they sold Pipers to another management
group. About 1998 the restaurant became The Eagle Diner.
