WESTPORT, CT — Westport's Old Mill Grocery & Deli, which closed last fall, is reportedly slated to reopen under the management of brothers Graziano and Maurizio Ricci, who own Romanacci's in town.

The Westport News reported that the two are looking to reopen the spot, which is near Compo Beach, within weeks, if not sooner.

Last year, TGB Hospitality, which owns The Granola Bar, pulled out of the deli to concentrate on its other ventures.
