About Eljo's History

Eljo's was founded on the historic University of Virginia "Corner" in 1950 by two brothers: Elliott and Joseph Hyman of Baltimore, Maryland. Ell and Joe graduated from the University in the late 1940's and opened their store, named "Eljo's University Of Virginia", at 1509 University Avenue in August 1950.

Ell and Joe ran the store for over three decades until they sold the business to longtime employee Myles Thurston in 1984. Myles, a fifth generation Central Virginian and graduate of Charlottesville's Lane High School, started working in the store in 1964 after serving in the Marine Corps. Myles and his son, Trent, now own Eljo's and run the day to day operations.
