Many thru hikers and those who spend time in northern NJ are aware that the Worthington Bakery and Deli closed last year (as I understand it, the elderly couple that ran the store for many years have both passed away). The bakery is on Route 206 right where the trail crosses the road, so many trail hikers through NJ have stopped here over the past decades for a snack.
(Apologies for the commercial nature of the rest of this message, but I figured this is one of the best places to try and make a connection).
A for sale sign has been up in the small parking lot for several months now, and I am considering purchasing the building and trying to re-open it. I am seeking a business partner with retail experience (ideally managing a convenience store, health food store, or snack shop) who wants to participate in a hiker friendly business opportunity. The AT runs literally right in front of the store, and there are many other hiking trails near by in Stokes State Forest and other NJ state parks, in addition to a short commute to canoe trips on the Delaware River. The recreational opportunities are attractive, but of course, there is a lot of work to get a new business going.
The building is somewhat run down since the previous owners were not able to keep it up as well in the last few years, but the location is great both on a high traffic road and very close to the trail.
I am ready to contribute financially but need a partner with appropriate experience, plus the energy and enthusiasm to re-build a hiker friendly trail stop. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected].
Thanks!
