DAZZLE CANDY BOUTIQUE
LIKE NO OTHER
Owner and designer Candice Chuy at DAZZLE CANDY
BOUTIQUE (44 Lake Drive West, Wayne, 973-406-7906,
www.dazzlecandy.com) started her online jewelry business
six years ago by bedazzling cell phone covers and designing
crystal jewelry. A resident of Pequannock, Chuy grew up in
Wayne and chose to locate her fast-growing online business
in Packanack Lake.
According to Chuy, Dazzle Candy Boutique utilizes the
latest way of shopping. New clothing, accessories and
children’s items are highlighted and updated on the store’s
Instagram and Facebook accounts, and customers can call
the store to order things they’ve seen online. Items are
already bagged and paid for when purchases are picked
up at the shop. Some jewelry and accessories can be
personalized or customized for fundraisers.
A SANDWICH FOR SAFETY
FIREHOUSE SUBS
Established by two firefighter brothers 20 years ago, the Firehouse
Subs franchise serves up sandwiches, salads and support to communities and their local public safety organizations. Owner and
area representative Ever Santana of Pompton Plains and owner
Jim Fabris of Franklin Lakes bring this charitable eatery to the area
with two new locations: FIREHOUSE SUBS OF TOTOWA
(205 Route 46 West, Totowa, 973-837-8022) and FIREHOUSE SUBS
OF WAYNE (1050 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, 973-832-4850).
On the menu are hearty, over-sized hot and cold subs, including the popular Hook and
Ladder (Smoked turkey breast, Virginia honey ham, and melted Monterey Jack, served with mayo,
deli mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion and a dill pickle). Firehouse Subs also prepares catering platters.
Restaurant décor includes firefighter gear, historic photos and hand-painted murals dedicated to local heroes. The Totowa
restaurant mural features Totowa firefighters extinguishing the historical Markowitz industrial fire that occurred in 1980. The Wayne
mural honors fallen firefighters Bill Klein and Glenn Galderisi from Pompton Falls Volunteer Fire Department. No. 3, and Jeff Raven
and Gregg Froehner from Preakness Volunteer Fire Company No. 4.
According to marketing manager Heather Nelson, “The heart of Firehouse Subs is our Public Safety Foundation, which is fueled by
donations made by customers to provide emergency service personnel with life-saving equipment, fire safety prevention education to
the public, disaster relief and financial resources to individuals pursuing careers in public safety.” Local fire departments can apply for
foundation grants at www.firehousesubs.com.
