Elvira’s Opens Monday!

It’s the news Westport has waited for: Elvira’s is back.

The popular Old Mill deli/grocery store/community center was closed all winter. It’s the first well-deserved rest the Yiovanakos family owners have taken in 20 years.

But at 7 a.m. on Monday, they’ll again greet their regulars: commuters, kids waiting for the school bus, construction workers, delivery people, joggers, bikers, and everyone else who lives, works in or passes through the neighborhood.

“We missed everyone!” co-owner Stacey says.

“We’re ready to rock and roll for the season,” Nicky adds.

It’s all back: coffee, salads, sandwiches, pizza, and Elvira’s beloved bacon-egg-and-cheese.

And all is once again right with the world.

Elvira’s: “Sales Rumors Are Untrue”

Stacey Yiozanakos has had a few offers to buy Elvira’s.

But, the owner of the very popular/always welcoming/tab-running deli/grocery store/community center says, the rumors that she’s already sold are not true.

Elvira's: the heartbeat of Old Mill.

Elvira’s: the heartbeat of Old Mill.

“Nothing is decided,” she says — firmly.

“And if I ever decide to sell, everyone here” — she gestures around the busy place — “my customers, my friends who have supported me, they’ll be the first to know.”

So head on down to Elvira’s. Enjoy the hospitality, and the food.

That gyro I had last night was particularly good.
