Parsippany mom-and-pops are gearing up for this weekend's Small Business Saturday. The annual event is an opportunity at the start of the holiday shopping season for residents to support the small businesses that help the community to thrive. American Express founded the day in 2010 to help small businesses get exposure during the holiday season, when big-box chains get the spotlight and smaller concerns are often overlooked. With retailers buzzing around the holidays, Small Business Saturday pushes the point that it is important to support local small businesses that rely on their neighbors in order to continue prospering and building the local economy in Parsippany. Many local businesses were forced to close for several days due to …

An open letter to Parsippany from the local Chamber of Commerce: As you start holiday shopping this Small Business Saturday, please keep these thoughts in mind before you make your purchases. If every family in the country spent just $10 a month with a locally-owned, independent business instead of a national chain, over $9.3 billion would be directly returned to local economies. That means better schools, better roads, more support for police, fire and rescue departments and stronger local economies. Shopping local creates jobs. Shops in your town create local employment and self-employment. These people in turn spend in the local economy. In 2010, your Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce launched the Greater Parsippany Rewards program in…

Mt. Tabor gym offers morning event for the special day
Anytime Fitness in Mt. Tabor is all set for Small Business Saturday, says owner Eric Skovronek. The gym, which offers its members 24/7 access to a clean and comfortable fitness facility, is three years old and very much a small business. "This is a small business owned and operated by local residents," he said. "Even though Anytime Fitness is an international franchise, each is owned and operated locally. As such, the owners, who grew up down the street, participate in local activities and support many other local organizations." Skovronek said the enterprise run by himself and his wife Dodi is meant to be a small neighborhood fitness center that serves Parsippany, Denville and Morris Plains. He said that as the business has grown since …

There are hundreds of small businesses in Parsippany. Some of them may be places you and your family frequent, businesses that have been Par-Troy institutions for as long as you can remember. And some may be your go-to places instead of national chains. Small business owner Linda Fuller is no stranger to starting a business from the ground up. In her recent interview with Patch Partners, a website connecting business owners to Patch in local communities, she offers insight into how she expanded her business’s services from just flowers to wine, beer and gourmet gift baskets at Lake Anne Florist in Reston, VA. Homework must be done first, she said. “Research what’s compatible with your own products and services, what the current trends are …

Hurricane Sandy took quite a toll on the area, and local small businesses were not spared the superstorm's wrath. As with homeowners, Parsippany's businesses may have to look to the state and federal government for help in getting things back to normal. To that end, the New Jersey Small Business Development Center is partnering with the U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Disaster Assistance (with assistance from the Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce) to present a free seminar offering mom-and-pops and other local concerns the information they need to bounce back from Sandy. According to organizers, the one-hour session will cover: • How to apply for a Business Disaster Loan • The different funds available for your business…

Sandy interrupted its grand opening, but things are full steam ahead for new Lake Hiawatha bakery.
The official grand opening and ribbon-cutting for the CakeOver, a new bakery now open on North Beverwyck Road was held Oct. 23. Afterward, the family-owned business was supposed to spring to life. But then came interruptions: Superstorm Sandy and the nor'easter Athena. With weather adventures over, at least for the present, the new establishment focuses on getting to business—and helping Parsippany get to know the CakeOver. The new bakery is not your average cake and cookie concern: The CakeOver is the first gluten-free and specialty bakery to open its doors in Parsippany. Don't let the hyphenation scare you. “You do not have to be gluten-free to enjoy the free samples and the desserts the bakery has to offer," said Alison Teperman, the …
