Flatbush staple Errol's Caribbean Delights to close after more than 25 years

The news is written all over the outside and inside of the building. To see like the sign is kind of like, oh my goodness. I read it, I said, no, why? Errol's Caribbean Delights is saying goodbye after more than 25 years at the corner of Flatbush and Hawthorne. I've always come here since like even high school. My mom especially would always buy like the escovitch fish. It feels like home. I'm from Jamaica and you can feel the country. Workers tell us that the owners are retiring. Both are in their 80s, and one of their business partners passed away a little over a year ago. They're tired and ready for something else. I pray that they are well taken care of afterwards because they fed me many, many times. 25 years is a good number to say goodbye, but we will definitely miss them. Back in 2016 and 17, Errol's was actually scheduled for eviction. But thanks to pressure on their landlord from the community, Let Errol stay! Let Errol stay! They were able to get a new lease and stay open for almost another decade. Flatbush is a West Indian-built community. This is one of the staples. I even know people who get cakes from here for baby showers and stuff. So to see that gone, it's like, where else are you going to go now? The good news is there is still time to say goodbye. The last day of Errol's tour is next Saturday, the 24th. I'm coming here every day. I was here this morning. I have my Jamaican breakfast, so now I'm having it on dinner. Meanwhile, we're told the owners are looking forward to more time with their grandkids. In Flatbush, Brooklyn, Greg Thompson, News 12.
