Can social media do more to push Small Business Saturday?

Can social media do more to push Small Business Saturday?

NOVEMBER 24, 2014    LAST UPDATED: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2014, 1:21 AM
BY JOÃO-PIERRE S. RUTH
SPECIAL TO THE RECORD |
THE RECORD

* Marketing push to harness the power of apps, social media

As North Jersey retailers gear up for Small Business Saturday this week, some groups hope to drum up extra foot traffic with the help of tweets and status updates on social media.

The Upper Main Alliance in Hackensack and the Englewood Chamber of Commerce are two of the many organizations that hope to draw customers on Saturday to local shops with a marketing push — which includes leveraging Facebook, Twitter and even Foursquare.

Small Business Saturday, now in its fourth year, is the brainchild of American Express to get more people to shop, ostensibly while using their credit cards, at local businesses across country. The idea is that small businesses will offer deals or discounts specifically for the day.

Albert Dib, executive director of the Upper Main Alliance, said some 166 retailers and restaurants in the city are members of the alliance, which is the core target of Small Business Saturday. Word will be spread, he said, across the different social media platforms about the deals being offered at shops in Hackensack for the day. The alliance is an advocate for the city’s business improvement district and works in conjunction with the city to address needs of the business community.

Le Bon Choix Rotisserie and Cafe : Where chicken rules the roost

Le Bon Choix Rotisserie and Cafe : Where chicken rules the roost

By Teresa Politano | The Star-Ledger
on November 16, 2014 at 7:00 AM, updated November 16, 2014 at 7:14 AM

The bread is from Balthazar, the chicken is from Goffle Road Poultry Farm in Wyckoff and the most popular topper is a fried egg.

Le Bon Choix is an homage, really, to the chicken, and it represents another unique restaurant addition to the village of Ridgewood, which is rapidly laying claim as one of New Jersey’s most distinctive foodie destinations.

On the menu? Rotisserie chicken, served with corn bread and sides (including butternut squash, potato au gratin, mac and cheese, and collard greens). Plus chicken sandwiches, such as the Lyon, which is chicken topped with white bean purée and
field greens, or the Cote du Rhone, which is rotisserie chicken in an espresso barbecue sauce, with Gruyère and coleslaw.

Or skip the chicken for the gussied-up grilled cheese, with Gruyère, Parmesan and goat cheese. And yes, a burger graces the menu.

It’s a French-inspired restaurant with Southern influences, says owner Ahmed Soliman.

The restaurant’s popularity (expect a line for weekend brunch) rests on its philosophy: Start with great ingredients, keep it simple. That, plus a casual atmosphere and the rooster cookies that are popular with the kids and on Instagram.

Le Bon Choix is also a gluten-free haven, says Soliman, who offers gluten-free bread for sandwiches, gluten-free French toast for brunch and a few homemade gluten-free options for dessert.

It took Soliman two years to secure a space in Ridgewood — it’s tough to get in, but it’s a terrific location for a restaurant.

Harding Pharmacy & Liquors Set to close on 11/15

Harding Pharmacy & Liquors Set to close on 11/15
November 11,2014
Boyd Loving

Ridgewood NJ, Harding Pharmacy & Liquor, located at 305 East Ridgwood Avenue at the corner of North Maple Avenue, will be closing its doors for good on Saturday, November 15.  Current proprietor Myron Lesh, who purchased the business in the early 1980’s, confirmed this when spoken to in person today.

Rumors are that a “sandwich shop” will soon occupy the premises.  Mr. Lesh will become a pharmacist at an existing pharmacy located in HoHoKus; all Harding prescriptions will be transferred to that location.  No word on who purchased the liquor license, which is good only in Ridgewood.

Harding_closes_theridgewoodblog.net

Mr. Lesh was unable to negotiate a new lease with the building’s owner, CLOTCO, Inc. of Boca Raton, Florida, whose principal owner is Emily S. Danson.

Those in the know say that Harding was in business for 50 years at the same location.

Give thanks, send smiles! Save $10 on Flowers & Gifts purchase of $59.99 & up for Thanksgiving at 1800flowers.com. Use Promo Code THNKTEN at checkout. (Offer Ends 11/27/2014)show?id=mjvuF8ceKoQ&bids=216823
