Ellis' maternal grandparents owned a refined jewelry store on Broadway in Camden, NJ. Greenetz & Greenetz Jewelers had first opened their doors in 1921 and enjoyed over forty years of popularity. Most famous for their perfect "Blue White Diamonds", Greenetz & Greenetz were also known for their affordable layaways. Prior to the inception of credit cards, Greenetz & Greenetz had been offering interest-free layaways and advertised "no budget charges".
The family's legacy of fine quality in conjunction with excellent customer service continues with Ellis Antiques. Ellis' parents began to dabble in antiques in the bull market of the mid-1960's, initially with flea markets, indoor shows, and finally running the full antique show circuit. This new venture piqued the young man's interest and he began buying and selling as early as adolescence.
He built upon the family business - expanding into auctions, a brick and mortar store, and estate sales. In addition to pioneering new ground for the family in such a difficult field, Ellis was active in the Philadelphia music scene in perhaps the greatest era of rock.
