Emil's is in the lobby of my building, yes they are only opened M-F and they cater to the working staff in the nearby offices. On the surface.. maybe it looks like your average store with snacks, drinks magazines and lottery.. but it's more than that... they sell hand made cards, made by the owner's wife, and Perry's ice-cream, and any number of other quick-grab items, Advil, Lotto, etc. The real value of Emil's are the people who work there, this is a family run business, Jerry and his son Anthony know their customers. They're friendly & take pride in getting to know the locals & regulars.
With COVID causing office closures, their business has been greatly affected, less employees in the office is less foot traffic.
I love this little mom & pop, shop.. remember to stop in, support local and keep the small business afloat! read more
