For the past two years, we've been incredibly proud to be recognized as a Top Workplace for Teens- and we want to keep that ball rolling!

If you know a hardworking, friendly individual looking for a great place to work, send them our way!! Help us bring in the next group of awesome kids to join the Elle's family and keep the streak going for year 3!

Some employees become so much more than employees ❤️

A little delayed, but this was a extra hard one for us...

This group has been such a special part of our lives- working alongside us, helping us through the busy days, and even being the people we trusted to take care of our kids. Somewhere along the way, they became part of our family.

While we are SO excited to see what's ahead of them and all the great things they will do; it could not be more bittersweet. We had the absolute pleasure of watching them grow into hardworking, kind, responsible young women, and we couldn't be more proud.

Thank you for all the early mornings, crazy shifts, many laughs and memories and most importantly, for loving our kids when we couldn't be there. Our business and our family have both been better because of you.

College is lucky to get you girls. Go do big things - and don't forget you always have a home (and a shift) waiting for you.
