CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDENTS
UPDATE: WEDNESDAY
The list of Locally-Owned Independent businesses in Lorain County is growing – Keep the names of these businesses coming.
If you want to recommend a local business to our readers just click on the comments button and tell us about them. It can be a favorite restaurant, appliance store, clothing shop, auto-shop or flower shop – any type of business as long as it is locally owned and independent.
Keep the list growing and then get out there and support our neighbors.
****
July 1st through July 7th is “Celebrate Our Independents” week all across the nation. Studies show that money you spend with locally-owned independent businesses keeps approximately 3.5 times more money in our community than spending it with chains.
With this, we encourage you to make a special effort this week to stop by and support a locally-owned independent business.
If you are looking in the Elyria area for a nice meal in a relaxing atmosphere I would like to suggest the following joints.
Zaki's Restaurant & Deli 301 Broad St Elyria – (440) 323-6000 – I suggest the Swiss Melt & Fries for lunch. Ask for the fries well done.
Old Town Pizza House 195 Cleveland Ave, Amherst – (440) 984-2468 – I suggest the spaghetti with meatballs.
Krieg’s Ice Cream Stand – On Route 113 – just west of Route 58 – I suggest the Chili Dogs.
Master Pizza 427 Cleveland Street – Elyria 365-7383 – I suggest the Master Pizza Classic
The Pizza House 106 S Main St, Wellington – (440) 647-4348

Ok, so there is a common theme to my suggestions.
Now please add your own suggestions of any locally-owned Independent businesses to the comments section below. Let’s help support our local businesses by spreading the word that they are there.
I will end here because for some reason I am very hungry.

Stop by the Mermaid's Tale on Church Street for great gifts and antiques.
Mosey over to the Party Shop and Richard's Wine Cellar, the only authentic wine cellar in Lorain County.
Amherst Cinema is also a great family owned "INDEPENDENT" theater with great admission prices and concession stand prices!
Park Lanes Bowling Alley is also another great independent find!
Welcome to Amherst "The Sandstone Center of the World."
150 Jefferson in Amherst is great. The food is made from scratch and and hits the spot. Check out their write-up in Friday Magazine in the Plain dealer- http://blog.cleveland.com/lifestyles/2008/03/scott_shaw_the_plain.html
Hershey's in Elyria (Chestnut Ridge, near Convenient)
Kim's in North Ridgeville
5 guys in Avon - definitely worth ANOTHER mention, along with Hot Dog Heaven.
Perhaps we should spend more time at these places and less time at the corporate chains?
Smitty's!
Blue Sky in Amherst
Sugar Creek (???) in Sheffield
For Breakfast, Lowell Street Cafe is a must!
For Lunch I say Hot Dog Heaven.
Dinner is best at Dinner Bell!!!
I'll second the comment about Sorrento's having the best chicken marsala around.
Just a Bite Bakery in Grafton.
Wash it down with coffee from Jim's Coffee in Elyria.
This one doesn't have anything to do with food but if you are celebrating a anniversary, engagement,any special occasion or just want a little something pretty for yourself stop by Vandemark Jewelers at 244 East Broad. Their new location is beautiful and Jim and his staff are the best!
How about Scoop's and More.... great ice cream !!! also, give'em a tip and let'em whoop it up!!! you'll see what I mean.

see you soon!!!
Creekside Tavern has the best wings. Their Prime Rib on Saturday's is the best too!!!
-Adamas-
Besides food, please also remember all the other local merchants who have businesses in the area. We have locally owned and operated hardware stores, pet supply stores, tire shops, gas stations, lawn & garden shops, appliance stores and many others. Also, why not patronize these stores all year long instead of for just one week? You'll find it will make a great difference locally rather than sending your money overseas by buying at China-Mart (don't mean to bash them too hard, but if you see me in one of those stores, please notify the authorities because I'm either lost or deranged).
Anyway, good story TMC, and hopefully it will make people realize what all is available from your local independently owned and operated stores. Support them because they support your community!!
Ziggy's Grille in downtown Amherst has some great food. Chicken pita nachos, Bruchetta, Red pepper Hummus. And their Pizza is out of this world.
The old Roman Room on Broadway in Lorain is now a BBQ place. The food is great and prices are cheap. Wings, pulled pork, lamb, fish, smoked turkey, homeade macaroni and cheese, greens, chicken, fish, etc. Good Food and great service. The chef comes out of the kitchen and talks to customers. There is live enterainment on the weekends too. Give it a try.

Hazels on Cleveland Street in Elyria
I agree, Creekside Tavern in Avon has the best wings. Their perch every Friday is worth a trip as well.
Dave’s Army Navy Store 29 S Main St in Oberlin
I agree with whoever said 150 Jefferson and Premiere International Dining (the old Roman Room). Best homemade food around.
Pete's in Lorain at the end of RT 58 on Wednesday HALF PRICE BURGERS, that are the bomb! I think they may have changed their name to Beach(Something). Good food! Cheap, too! Their breakfast is best, but their burgers may be better!

Krieg's Ice Cream on rt. 113 just west of rt. 58 has some of the finest, richest ice cream (soft serve) and home made toppings around. The ice cream is extremely creamy, (probably higher butterfat content) and they have a unique flavor each week, such as strawberry, blueberry. The toppings are home made from the family's own farm. Nice to know that local's are trying to use what they produce here. They deserve our support. Great Job gang !!! keep it up

Woolly Bear Restaurant in Birmingham. I know it's outside of Lorain County, but some of the best food you can get.
Home improvement companies:
Stipe Painting does high quality work, especially on historic homes. It seems like the have painted half of the old homes in Wellington.
Elegant Wood Products in Grafton has hundreds of moldings to choose from in a variety of woods. An inexpensive way to add value and beauty to your home.
Esser Plumbing in Lorain are the only people I will let do my pipes.
Lu's Pizza in Grafton. Still the best Pizza for the dollar in my opinion:
935 Main St.
