Saturday, September 14th was The Juice Bar's last day at 20 S. Centre Street. But, before you panic, they'll be moving the store right next door to 22 S. Centre Street - formerly Wirth's Florist. They plan to be closed for about a week in order to move everything over to the new location and are asking their customers to be patient during this transition. The Juice Bar's owner, Seth Amoah, promises it’ll be well worth the wait! This opens up a great downtown opportunity for a new business at 20 S. Centre - a large storefront, with beautiful display window and awning, on a busy street in the heart of downtown Merchantville. The 1,000 square foot space is renting for $1500/month and features a bright showroom with closet, back office with closet, half bath and back foyer with back door. The entire storefront has been freshly painted with sparkling polished floors.

Best Burger in the County
There's a reason why nearly every restaurant — from fast to fine — has a burger on its menu. It's because they're universally adored. It's the same reason I ate 44 burgers at 44 restaurants in the past two months — to find the absolute juiciest, most flavorful version in each county in the Garden State. The following burgers are so good that even after eating 44 burgers in a very short time, I'm still dreaming about them. The Blue Monkey Burger from Blue Monkey Tavern in Merchantville is Camden County's best burger.
A Town Staple
July's Feature Buisness of the month McFarlan's Market Merchantville. The remake of the original corner store, reopened in May 2010, transformed the old Philadelphia fruit market back to its original name with a new look. The service is great, the food is great, and all the employees are phenomenal! It's definitely worth stopping by for a coffee, a sandwich, or other grocery needs because McFarlan's never disappoints. This corner store is a town staple. Small-business owners love what they do, and they play an important role in supporting local communities - from contributing hometown resources to providing meeting places for residents and neighbors. When it comes to showing your support for small businesses, it’s important to do so. Everything from the local market to the clothing boutique relies on the support of loyal customers to keep its doors open, and when you spend money at a small business, you’ll gain plenty of wonderful benefits!
