What's Coming

One new restaurant slated to join the downtown scene is Agricola Eatery. It's not yet clear when they're opening at 40 W Park Pl., as they originally planned for late 2021. But the restaurant's website says it's coming soon.

Agricola touts an experience of gathering with friends around a big table for a carefully crafted meal. The restaurant uses fresh ingredients from local farms, including the following:

  • Valley Shepherd Creamery, Long Valley
  • Ironbound Farm, Asbury
  • River Bend Farms, Peapack
  • Castle Valley Mills, Doylestown, Pennsylvania
  • Agricola Princeton executive chef personal farm

Additionally, the Briarcliff Commons shopping center in Morris Plains is set for some new businesses. Uncle Giuseppe's — an Italian marketplace and full-service grocer — will hold its grand opening Jan. 14.

The Morris Plains location will become the 10th Uncle Giuseppe's store, with eight in New York and one in Ramsey. At 37,801 square feet, Uncle Giuseppe's will become the plaza's second-largest store behind Kohl's.

Chopt Creative Salad Co. and Crumbl Cookies will also take spots in the plaza, according to property records. Read more: Salads, Cookies, New Market Coming To Greater Morristown Plaza

ESO Artisinal Pasta, which once closed for good, has made its comeback. The business specializes in authentic Italian ingredients that customers can make into flavorful dishes.

Additionally, Morristown may see some transformation with the progression of redevelopments. M Station — a major Morristown redevelopment project — plans to fill its first of two buildings by the third quarter of this year.

Professional services firm Deloitte signed a lease to occupy all five floors of office space and will relocate from Parsippany next year. M Station will replace the Midtown Shopping Center strip mall and parking lot by the Morristown Train Station. The property will feature two buildings, a 1,000-car parking garage and retail.
