New Jersey is experiencing a dynamic surge in business activity as companies, retail outlets, and innovative ventures continue to launch or expand across the state. From corporate headquarters relocations to groundbreaking healthcare initiatives, these developments are reshaping local economies and creating new opportunities for residents and investors alike.
Corporate Headquarters and Industrial Expansions. Several major corporations have recently made strategic moves, reflecting New Jersey’s appeal as a hub for business and innovation. Cangso Global Inc., a rapidly growing e-commerce fulfillment company, has relocated its headquarters to a larger facility in Edison, strengthening its East Coast distribution capabilities. Unilever has announced a major relocation of its North American headquarters from Englewood Cliffs to a waterfront property in Hoboken, gaining proximity to the broader New York City labor market and reinforcing its presence in the region.
Selective Insurance Group has signed a significant lease for a new headquarters in Short Hills, with plans to occupy the space in 2026, while Gellert Global Group, a century-old food import business, is moving into a large former office complex in Morris County to centralize operations and modernize its facilities. These headquarters moves highlight a broader trend of New Jersey attracting established companies seeking strategic advantages through location, infrastructure, and access to top-tier talent.
Retail, Dining, and Entertainment Openings. New Jersey’s retail and dining sectors are also thriving with new establishments opening across the state. Nasto’s Ice Cream of Woodbridge celebrated its grand opening in the Cloverleaf Shopping Center in Avenel, marking the second location for the historic Newark-based ice cream brand. A new ShopRite in Manahawkin Commons is preparing to open soon, while Qdoba launched a location in Hamilton Township in November 2025.
In the greater Hoboken and Jersey City area, shoppers now have access to an Abercrombie + Fitch store, a Van Leeuwen ice cream shop, and a range of local eateries, including Apollo Bagels and Cheeky’s Sandwiches. Fitness enthusiasts can look forward to the boutique Rumble Boxing opening on Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair, and dog owners have a new destination at Unleashed Dog Solutions K9 Club in West Milford. These openings demonstrate the continued vitality of New Jersey’s retail and lifestyle sectors, catering to diverse communities with both national brands and local favorites.
Healthcare and Innovation. Healthcare and innovation continue to drive growth in New Jersey’s business ecosystem. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), in partnership with Rowan University and Cooper University Health Care, is launching a Medtech Strategic Innovation Center in Camden and Mullica Hill. This center is designed to support the development of cutting-edge medical technologies and devices, positioning New Jersey as a leader in healthcare innovation.
Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino Launches Archangel Centers Addiction Treatment Facility in Tinton Falls
Jersey Shore star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino has taken a major step in transforming addiction recovery in New Jersey with the grand opening of Archangel Centers, a state-of-the-art treatment facility in Tinton Falls. Drawing on his nearly ten-year journey of sobriety, Sorrentino co-founded the center with his wife, Lauren Sorrentino, and childhood friend Michael Smilovitch, combining personal experience with professional insight to provide comprehensive care for individuals struggling with substance use and mental health challenges.
Archangel Centers offers a full spectrum of addiction treatment programs, including partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care, standard outpatient services, and dual diagnosis treatment designed to support patients dealing with both addiction and mental health disorders. The facility is designed to be more than a treatment center; it is a resource for education, prevention, and long-term recovery, aimed at breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and emphasizing that recovery is possible for everyone.
At the opening event, Sorrentino shared candidly about his personal journey, highlighting the mistakes and challenges that brought him to the point of recovery and the knowledge he has gained along the way. “I have made all the mistakes that most would make,” Sorrentino told attendees. “I have acquired all of the knowledge and experience needed to now teach others how to achieve successful recovery like I have.” His message resonated strongly with attendees, including local government officials, Jersey Shore co-stars, and members of the community.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by notable figures including Senator Vin Gopal, Tinton Falls Mayor Risa Clay, and local police, as well as Sorrentino’s Jersey Shore colleagues, who showed support for both the celebrity entrepreneur and the facility’s mission. The presence of his family, including his wife and three children, underscored the personal nature of the project and the strong commitment to community-based care.
Sorrentino’s vision for Archangel Centers extends beyond New Jersey. He hopes to expand the model to all 50 states and ultimately on an international scale, providing structured recovery programs that prioritize both mental and physical health. “When people come in here, their life is on the line, whether they realize it or not,” he said. “This can and will be the turning point in people’s lives.” His goal is to change the conversation around addiction, demonstrating that vulnerability is strength and that second chances are not only possible but transformative.
The Tinton Falls facility is strategically positioned to serve both local residents and those from surrounding areas, offering a welcoming, modern environment equipped with medical professionals, licensed therapists, and comprehensive support staff. Archangel Centers reflects a growing trend in New Jersey toward innovative, holistic approaches to healthcare and wellness, integrating medical treatment with mental health support to address the full spectrum of patient needs.
As New Jersey continues to prioritize health and wellness initiatives, facilities like Archangel Centers demonstrate how personal experience, community support, and professional expertise can converge to create meaningful impact.

The shop aims to fill a niche in the local sports community while providing personalized service to area athletes.
These initiatives highlight a growing trend of residents investing in businesses that strengthen community ties and support local economies.
