We are happy to share our experience with Business, Operations, Training, and Restaurant skills with Port Charlotte.” When asked about their introduction to the Ellianos brand, they shared, “We were not from Florida, but my brother, an ‘Over the Road Truck Driver,’ told us about it. We made a special trip to try out many of the drinks and fell in love with the brand!”
The team stated their excitement for this venture: “We are very excited! This is our pilot store; we have five more in the works!” Personal connections influenced their choice of Port Charlotte, “We have friends and family in the area, which made our transition very easy.

When is the store set to open? I’m so excited. I live in Tampa and have to travel 2 plus hours to get the nearest Ellianos.
Amber, while we can’t give you an exact date that this store will open, we are hoping that it will be around April of 2024. Best thing to do is to follow them on Facebook, where they should be posting updates on their progress towards opening.
So excited for Ellianos!! Is there any link to where I can apply to work there? Would love to join the team!!
Liana, Thanks for your interest in working with our extended family here at Ellianos Coffee. The best way to find out when the Port Charlotte store is going to start hiring is to follow them on Facebook. Our stores usually post something when they start taking applications. It should be soon as they are projected to open in the March/April timeframe. Good luck!
