19 Businesses Open in Keyport Since Sandy

Since Superstorm Sandy ripped through the Bayshore in 2012, Keyport Borough has been working hard to rebuild and bring business back to the Bayfront. In the year following the storm, the Keyport Bayfront Business Cooperative helped to open the doors of 19 businesses in the Borough, bringing life to the economy and unique products and services to Keyport.

In the first few months of 2014 alone, the Keyport Bayfront Business Cooperative held grand opening ceremonies at five locations, including national franchise Bath Fitter on Route 35 and Lucky 7 Unique Boutique in May.

Since March, 2013 the KBBC has held ceremonies for:

1. Bath Fitter
2. Lucky 7 Unique Boutique
3. Zipline Laundry

The Keyport Bayfront Business Cooperative works with both Keyport officials and Keyport businesses to create a welcoming environment for businesses and their patrons. This year, the KBBC is working hard to market Keyport to out-of-town visitors, showing off everything the Borough has to offer as we continue to recover from Superstorm Sandy and watch Keyport grow. Don't forget, the Jersey Shore begins at Exit 117.

The KBBC has also launched a new mobile app, for members of the Keyport Bayfront Business Cooperative to have their businesses listed for free in the Keyport Community Hub app. The app is available on both Apple and Android.
