Since January 2013, the business has re-opened with limited hours. As one o f the few African American owned retail businesses in the Portland community, the damage was devastating and caused the owners to consider permanently closing the business that marks its 13 year anniver­ sary May 1, 2013. Eliot E-Mat Café gives thanks to the loyal customers who have supported the business through these difficult times. Supporters o f the unique combination o f Deli, Laundromat, and Internet Café have encouraged community members to stop by and support its continued operations.
