Does anyone have any suggestions for someone local who does cakes or cupcakes? I'm looking for an individual or small/home business type deal, preferably not a big...

Do you even know what our town has to offer? I keep seeing posts where people are requesting things...things we already have! It makes wonder, tho we all live in...

Nila... We need find a way to have those people stop and open their wallets at our shops. Not just drive through and just say.... Ah~ It's pretty town. That's the goal and that's the only way we can all survive. How we stop them at Metuchen shops...! That is the key.

The Metuchen Chamber of Commerce website has a business directory.
Tyreen R. replied:
Charlie Silverman - yes they do, but it's only Chamber members, and I think it's less than half of businesses in town belong (I think that's the stat I heard at the 3/17/14 council meeting, I could be wrong on the #)
Tyreen R. replied:
yes - they welcome members from outside Metuchen, too. "Metuchen AREA Chamber of Commerce." Basically, businesses that have an interest in doing businesses in Metuchen.
Tyreen R. replied:
Nila, I believe The Pines is a member of the MACC, yes. And that's great that they are - they support all the events here in town. They are just outside the borough limits, and the only big conference / banquet thing around. Christine - I get what you mean about a local directory, but its a membership organization. If someone in Freehold wants to support Metuchen's business community and the events here, why not?

I've also been keeping a list of Downtown Metuchen businesses in a Foursquare list. Just merged a bunch from the BIL list into the Foursquare list. Any suggestions for any I've left off, please let me know. https://foursquare.com/workingsandbox/list/downtown-metuchen
