• Chick-fil-A, Panera Bread, Ross Dress for Less fuel commercial boom along Route 9 in Somers Point (nj.com subscription) — Somers Point's Route 9 corridor is rapidly transforming into a major commercial hub, with Chick-fil-A, Panera Bread, Jersey Mike's, Dave's Hot Chicken, Ross Dress for Less, and Chase Bank all building or planning locations near Bethel Road and Defeo Lane. The redevelopment of the former McNaughton's Garden Center into Defeo Plaza will anchor this boom with new drive-thru restaurants and expanded retail options.
• Atlantic City Travel Guide (airbnb.com) — Somers Point gets a brief spotlight in this Atlantic City-focused travel guide, which highlights Somers Point Bayfest among the region's major festivals. Most of the piece walks visitors through Atlantic City's boardwalk, casinos, attractions, and dining, but it still positions Somers Point as a quieter nearby shore town worth a day trip for low-key beaches and a relaxed boardwalk feel.
