What's In A Name

Elroy was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on March 11, 1920, to Arthur and Margaret Kern. Elroy's believe that good ideas deserved a chance in the business world and good sales people should be rewarded. Moreover, he believed that if you show people a good product and value, they would become your loyal customers.


Elroy's Deli Market is owned by Shawn Kern and his grandfather Tom Kern, both descendants of Elroy. They continue what Elroy and Carol began those many years ago a business built on a good idea and inspired by the belief that the only way to gain loyal customers is to give people a good product at a great value. It's an idea and a place that would do Elroy proud.
