The location in Centerville is up for sale, but plans to relocate are in the works.

“We love this location,” Co-owner of Elsa’s, Jason Hemmert, told News Center 7′s Haley Kosik. “It’s the right thing to do at this time, but you know, finding a new location is important also.”

Hemmert has mixed feelings regarding the sale but knows the Centerville location is in need of major repairs.

A contract for the property to be sold is in place, but Hemmert expects the earliest the Centerville location will close would be in June.

“We’re still going to be around a while and that gives us time to look for an alternate location,” Hemmert said.

There is a buyer who is interested and would like to put in a Sheetz gas station.

“Honestly, I’ve heard that they’re a great company,” Hemmert said.
