inety-three years. That is how long Hildebrandt’s of Williston Park has been open, but sadly not for much longer. Early last week, the village staple announced on their Facebook page that it will be closing its doors within the next few months. “It’s with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce Hildebrandt’s will no longer be in business within the next few months,” read a statement on Hildebrandt’s Facebook page. “Unrelated to COVID, the landlords of the building have decided to sell it and the new owners will be creating something different. It’s been 93 years of this amazing place and 46 years in our family. Although we don’t want to part with it, we are grateful for the memories and love built around this wonderful place. We have decided that we will be selling anything inside including our phone booth. Serious inquires only, please feel free to message us.” See rest of story on page 10 Mineola American (USPS 350-680)
