What are some things you feel are needed in/near Lakewood? Any types of businesses or service or restaurants needed? A family member wants to open a business and I'm trying to help out with some ideas.

pizza shop. There’s a bagel store in Manchester and I hear a grocery is opening soon in Manchester and Toms River. But no pizza shop.

There’s a fancy one- sugo and honestly- j2 and upper crust are really not too far from Toms River, unless you are talking very far in

A fleishig restaurant that isnt fast food or a steak house. Something in between ambiance and price wise....like a fleishig version of ottimo or the upper crust

That would be so nice!
But it would have to be crazy big
And have an occupancy limit
And age restrictions

We love Smokey Hill. It's not that far into Lakewood and our bill is usually under $200 for 2 adults.

There's also Pita Hut next door that's cheaper.

Bun burger and Nostalgia are at the edge of Lakewood.

I feel like there's so many eateries here.

If I'm not mistaken, I think a shoe repair type of place is missing here. I always see requests on the local chat and the ones mentioned are pretty far.
Don't know though if that's what you're relative has in mind LOL

Right and there's Pizza on the 9. I really don't feel like we're missing pizza stores.
Ice cream house is opening soon as well.
