Myka Gurvitz turned a family project she began during the pandemic into a catering business, mobile food truck and location in Lawrence.
Today, she is behind Eve’s Garden Deli, Indiana’s first Black-owned deli, which was opened recently in Broad Ripple at 916 E. Westfield Blvd, near Guilford Avenue.
A faith-driven entrepreneur, Gurvitz said Eve’s Garden Deli is from “Eve from the bible,” integrating her spiritual beliefs into the business and letting faith see her through the process.
“Just leap out on faith,” Gurvitz said to WTHR. “Anything you do, I always put God first.”
“I love to cook for others,” she shared. “It’s one thing to cook for your children, but it’s another to cook for others.”
Gurvitz works at Eve’s Garden Deli with her children. “I’ve adopted some children through my children, so they all help out,” Gurvitz said.
“It’s very important to me to make history,” the Christian entrepreneur said in relation to her business being the only black-owned deli in Indiana.
But it’s not always rosy, she said. Some of the major issues of concern to small businesses in Indiana include finances and a lack of help, as stated by Indy’s Office of Minority and Women Business Development (OMWBD).
The Office said its aim is to provide equal opportunities to business owners in Indiana.
“Anything that you do in life is based on relationships,” OMWBD Director David Fredricks said. “There was an article that came out just last year that talked about Indianapolis was the 3rd/4th fastest-growing cities for Black-owned businesses.”
Indiana has also seen a rise in woman-owned businesses online since the COVID-19 pandemic, Fredricks said, adding that he hopes that doesn’t change.
For Gurvitz, her goal is “to make people happy”, one meal at a time.
“As Indiana’s first Black-owned deli, we built this business on a foundation of family, fresh food, and community pride. Every sandwich, salad, smoothie, and slice of pizza is made to order because you deserve the best — every single time,” the business says on its website.
