Ella’s Deli

Ella’s Deli still has not found a buyer, but its carousel has. Epic, 
the medical software giant, has purchased the carousel as well as many 
of the whimsical toys that filled the East Washington Avenue 
restaurant for years. 
 
“Helping to preserve part of this iconic Madison landmark was an easy 
decision and we look forward to ensuring the carousel and creative 
collection find a happy home on the Epic campus,” says Kara 
Rettenmund, of Epic administration, in an emailed statement. “We’re 
grateful to Ken, Judy, and their staff for over four decades of family 
fun, good food, and priceless memories for all who walked through 
their doors.” 
 
The carousel was built in 1927 in Leavenworth, Kansas. It’s been part 
of Ella’s since the late 1980s.
