TEAM

At Mill & Whistle, our team is the heart of everything we do. We share a passion for great food, a welcoming environment, and creating a place that feels both consistent and special every single day. From the drive-thru window to our curated shelves, we care about the details and believe in showing up for our customers, our community, and each other.

We’re also growing (open roles here). If you’re excited to be part of building something new in Wilmington and want to join a team that values people first, we’d love to hear from you!

PARTNER & GENERAL MANAGER

JANA STARO

After growing up in the Valley on a family farm and spending a decade living outside of VT, Jana decided there’s no better place to raise her kids (and animals!). With experience in restaurants and hotels, she has a deep passion for hospitality and all that it entails. She can’t wait to build a new mainstay in this community and is thrilled to be a part of M&W!

OWNER

LIZ CHRISTO

Liz’s first job was scooping ice cream at a small cafe and her passion for food and service has stuck with her over the years. With the opening of Mill & Whistle, she is excited to return to her roots in hospitality. Liz is a VC by day and hopes her experience translates in some small way to this new adventure.
