Panel 1: I wonder, is that a deadpan "Really?". Nice visual with the exterior of the store and a kid pointing at the window display, so we get a sense of how much Lilliput's (presumably) means to the community.
Panel 2: Yeah, Moira, but it's not FUN for Elly any more. That's what matters, right? I also like the line of descending ornaments, with Elly's head last of all.
Panel 3: Wasn't the store already a landmark? I never got the impression that Lily sucked as an owner/manager. And Mira seems to be silently saying "ShuddUP!" Perhaps her earlier protest was just for form's sake, and she's really thinking, "Yes -- YES! Just a few more formalities and we're rid of the latte-swilling beast!"
Panel 4: Sigh. I could understand that...if it was at all consistent with what we SEE Elly do in the strip.
