The first location of the original “Ed Mitchells” was an 800 square-foot. former plumbing supply store in Westport, CT. Norma famously brought in her coffee pot each day to make the customers feel at home. For over 50 years, we have strived to carry on that spirit and tradition. Today, we offer lattes, M&M’s, have a dedicated “Kiddie Corner” and much more… we try to do her proud! Timeline from “50 Years of Hugs” Anniversary Book Mitchells is still independent, family-owned and operated by a second and third generation of Mitchells, and has grown over the years to 25,000 square-feet.
