NJ Businesses That Make a Difference: Their Impact and Milestones

New Jersey has always been home to hardworking entrepreneurs, innovative local businesses, and industry leaders shaping life across the Garden State. From healthcare practices and law firms to restaurants, retailers, and home service companies. These standout businesses are doing more than turning a profit, they’re helping Garden State residents live, heal, eat, work, and thrive, making New Jersey stronger. Atlantic Brain and Spine (ABS) is changing that—delivering a more coordinated, patient-centered model of care throughout the state. “At its core, our mission is simple,” said CEO Samantha Kelly. “We believe patients deserve thoughtful, precise care—not a one-size-fits-all approach.” ABS brings together highly specialized neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons who collaborate to evaluate every case. Through structured spine conferences and multi-disciplinary tumor boards, patients benefit from multiple expert perspectives— helping reduce unnecessary procedures and improve outcomes. Nowhere is this model more evident than in spine care, where neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons work side by side to determine the best path forward for each patient. At ABS, no patient’s care is shaped by a single opinion—it’s shaped by a team. This collaborative model is strengthened by the addition of fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Farah Musharbash, expanding ABS’s ability to deliver comprehensive, motion-preserving spine care and a more complete approach to complex spine conditions. ABS is helping redefine how brain, spine, and neurovascular care is delivered across New Jersey. The practice works closely with referring physicians statewide, providing timely access to subspecialty expertise while ensuring continuity of care. This approach helps elevate the standard of care for patients and providers alike. Innovation is central to ABS’s impact. The practice advances minimally invasive and robotic-assisted spine surgery, along with cutting-edge treatments for brain tumors and neurovascular conditions—designed to reduce recovery times, preserve function, and improve quality of life. With continued growth, including its newest location in Edison, Atlantic Brain and Spine is expanding access to high-level brain, spine, and neurovascular care—bringing advanced expertise closer to home and redefining the standard of care across New Jersey. Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace brings the warmth, flavor, and craftsmanship of the classic Italian market to families across New Jersey and New York. Today it stands as a beloved specialty marketplace known for fresh mozzarella made daily, bread baked from scratch, hand-cut meats, house-made pasta, and nearly 1,000 scratch-made items prepared each day. Founded by brothers Carl and Philip DelPrete and partner Tom Barresi, the brand remains rooted in tradition, community, and the belief that shopping should feel like an experience. With 12 locations today and more growth ahead, Uncle Giuseppe’s continues to honor Italian-American heritage while welcoming every family to its table across generations and regions.
