After the blue ribbon-cutting ceremony, staff members showed new customers around the store. It has an open-concept, modern feel with security measures in place.

The store's manager, Matthias Parker, is from New Jersey and couldn't be more excited for its grand opening. Parker said, "A lot of hard work went into launching this store. I'm super excited as a Jersey native to be a part of this market."
