Whitney Young was a huge beneficiary of Ella’s corner since its opening. It gained the support of students through the low prices and high quality if chief food for such a long time, and the family community formed with Gordie who allowed students to work the drink station to pay for their food. But as time passed the prices slowly rose, but everything was good until Gordie released the news that he would be retiring from Elias. He was there for so long that everyone knew him and he knew everyone, so this was blow to the Whitney Young community. But he had been starting to bring a new worker along and she was doing well and starting to learn other people names as well. Jasmine Martin, glad of 2019 says,”Ellas was a such a good place and it was a great deal, they should have

never changed that,” What Jasmine is referring to is the closing of Ella’s to make a Indian restaurant. Leo Weaver class of 2023 says,” Ella’s is so good even though it’s expensive it’s worth it.” Most under class man feel this way because they were not here doing the time period when Ella’s was a reliable option and was not expensive. Sherri Arnold class of 2020 says,” For moist people that like Ella’s now they don’t know how Ella’s was because it would change their opinion.” I feel this is said because of lack of options on the new menu and the prices being menu. I feel for Ella’s to make the same amount of money they would have to lower the prices and add more items.
