Ella’s is open for dine-in or take-out on Fridays & Saturdays from 11:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m., and on Sundays from 11:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. You can learn about current menus at the Ella’s Acres Facebook page or by calling (607) 333-5531. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 2,213 Posted March 5, 2023 This seems like a good business idea, but man, I'm not so sure I'd do it at the mall. With the price of a lease there, you could get a stand alone place at a better location. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone mentioned maybe they get a percent of the profit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The mall is leasing based on receipts. I guess a little rent is better than no rent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
