Somers Point is a hot retail market right now and Ocean Heights Plaza, aka ShopRite Plaza, is leading the way.
Recently Norman’s Hallmark greeting cards endorsed the plaza by opening a flagship, 6,000-square-foot store. It’s a beautiful store, loaded with unique cards and gift items. It is a must see.
Located across the parking lot is the newly opened, gorgeous 5,000 square-foot J Suites Beauty Collective. It’s the first of its kind in South Jersey.
Once you enter, you immediately realize you are in for a real treat. The details, from the reception area and throughout the 18 individual rooms, mirror a salon that you would see in New York. But don’t let the magnificent décor mislead you; the services are very much affordable.
Sue Jacquette has extensive experience in the salon suites concept. Sue opened six salon suites in Pennsylvania for another company before deciding to move over to New Jersey and start her own J-Suites brand in Hainesport. It was so successful that she decided to open two more locations in Marlton and Somers Point.
The concept gives individual business owners the chance to be their own entrepreneur in a professional environment. The customer can access any beauty and health related services available at a salon in a luxury setting. Stop by and experience J-Suites for yourself; you won’t be disappointed.
Before you pamper yourself at J-Suites, treat yourself to a refreshing and healthy workout at Club Pilates, which is to be located at the opposite end of ShopRite. The expected opening date is Dec. 14, 2023.
Club Pilates will be a unique boutique studio specializing in reformer fusion classes for anyone, at any age or fitness level. Pure to Joseph Pilates’ original reformer-based contrology method, but modernized with group practice and state-of-the-art equipment, Club Pilates offers high-quality, life-changing training at a surprisingly affordable price.
Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on core strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness through controlled movements and breathing techniques. Club Pilates owner Shari Suero believes that Pilates is the path to a fuller, more satisfying physical existence. She believes that being in control of your body helps you to be in control of your life.
Shari is a New York native who left more than 20 years ago to put the corporate grind behind her and pursue her passion in the world of entrepreneurial, small business.
Shari was inspired by her grandmother who came to this country with nothing and provided for her family through selfless hard work, owning and running diners and other properties.
Shari said the example that her grandmother set drives her to find joy through leadership, determination and authenticity. Shari is grateful to be able to provide people with a brand-new facility where they can feel comfortable with their Pilates experience.
She is thrilled to team up with Nycki Boyle who shares the same enthusiasm, passion and expertise as she does.
If you are seeking a fun but serious social workout experience, then Club Pilates is going to be your new place. Any questions go to Facebook @clubpilates, website www.clubpilates, Instagram @clubpilates, phone 609-365-0885.
