THE PAST

From the day Christie’s opened its doors in 1926, one thing remained the same, Christie’s was the go-to spot in the Westport community. With the inviting Porch on the front of the store, it became a place for the community to meet, buy local foods and treat themselves to a delicious ice cream from the adorable ice cream hut.

OUR VISION TODAY

As the new owners, we want to keep all that is wonderful while putting our own special touches on the space and making sure this spot is around for the next generation to enjoy.

As long-time Westport residents, we have always appreciated the history of the original community store and knew we needed to pay it homage. We are honored to now be the owners of The Porch at Christie’s. Our mission at The Porch is Food-Community-Purpose. We want to continue what Christie's started and become a place for the community to gather and enjoy a good meal. And our purpose is to include people of all abilities on our staff so that The Porch is truly for all to enjoy. We want to become a place to welcome neighbors and people visiting Westport for the first time, a place for builders, contractors, and landscapers passing by on Cross Highway, and a place for students from all of the area schools to meet up. We can't wait to welcome you to The Porch.
