The yishuv includes a range of businesses and initiatives, from freelance residents who provide various services and products, to the Lev Eli shopping center, where all of the municipal and shopping needs of a large yishuv such as Eli can be found in one spot. The shopping center contains the departments that provide services for the residents, a large supermarket, various stores including clothing stores, fast food, Maccabi and Clalit health clinics, a post office, and more. There is also a gas station next to Eli with a convenience store and a restaurant, and further development is planned to provide additional employment opportunities for Eli’s residents as well as more stores and products.
