Elizabethtown

By CHAD UMBLE, Correspondent

Depot Deli opened last week at 498 W. High Street in Elizabethtown. The 50-seat café near the train station takes the place of the Fractured Prune, which moved to Lancaster city.

The menu at Depot Deli includes homemade soups as well as salads, paninis, deli sandwiches and hand-cut French fries. Other items are gyro sandwiches and lamb, beef and chicken kebabs. The café also sells 16 flavors of hand-dipped ice cream.

In addition to coffee, breakfast items include various sandwiches, pastries, waffles, and omelets.

The café is owned by Andrew Harmantzis and his wife Julie, with the couple's sons, Nicholas and Christopher, also helping out. In total, the café has about 11 full and-part-time employees.

The Harmantzises spent about a month readying the café for its opening, which included remodeling the kitchen, redoing a counter to make room for a pastry case and doing some painting.

Harmantzis declined to give the cost of the renovations.

Hours: 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

New market

Miller's Dutch Market opened Aug. 12 at 2931 Columbia Ave. The market, which specializes in Amish-produced meats, cheese and grocery items, takes part of the space previously occupied by the Centerville Diner, which closed in January.

The 2,200-square-foot market has deli and grocery items from Walnut Creek, a large Amish settlement in Ohio, including jams, jellies and pastas. Miller's also carries items from Kitchen Kettle Village and Lancaster's Central Market.

Owners are Ken Miller and his wife, Lucy. Miller estimates that he spent $50,000 readying the space for the market, which included adding some walls. Miller's has 10 full- and part-time employees.

Hours: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

New shoes

Olly Shoes opened Aug. 22 in the Chelsea Square shopping center and will celebrate its grand opening this Saturday.

The store, in a roughly 3,000-square foot spot at 1629 Manheim Pike, specializes in shoes for children from infants to 10 years old. It features a computer system that scans children's feet to ensure correct sizing. The store has about 10 employees.

Olly Shoes opened its first store in Toronto in 2001 and now has 15 Canadian and U.S. stores, including seven others in Pennsylvania.

Hours: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
