Sad news... Two of the most popular businesses in downtown Ardsley are set to close: Sunnydale and the Village Cafe. Jogi Singh and Nirmal Singh, the owners, have been terrific assets to our community. They work hard, are well liked, the quality of their food was always excellent and they care about the community. Ardsley won't be the same without them.

Ardsley's Sunnydale, Village Cafe to Close
After 39 years, two Rivertowns staples will close this month.

By Lizzie Hedrick | Email the author | July 8, 2011

After 39 years in business, Rivertowns staple Sunnydale Farms Food Store and the Village Cafe next door will close this month.
Owners Jogi Singh and Nirmal Singh are heartbroken about the decision.

"I moved into the community when I was 19 and a half," said Jogi Singh, who is originally from New Delhi, India. "The community welcomed me."

Throughout his career here, Singh first opened the small grocery store, next the luncheonette and later the gas station across the street—which he has since sold.

"I got married here, raised my children here, went to NYU," Jogi Singh said. Both business partners' two children went to the Ardsley schools.

The men expect to close the adjacent shops later this month.

"I don't know where I'm going after," Jogi Singh said. "When God closes one door, maybe he'll open two more."
