Over the weekend I had the pleasure of meeting two gentlemen in the community who had a vision and a determination to make a difference. One a long time business owner in the landscaping field who has owned his business for over 40 years and another who works for Merck in corporate finance .Two completely different careers brought together by the same thought, how can we make our community a better place to live. The answer was sitting right in front of their nose and when they realized what their town was missing they went out and filled that void with what we call “STAR DOGS”. STAR DOGS is a start up company that was thought up on the notion that every kid both big and small loves a good old hot dog and something to drink after a hard game of baseball, basketball, soccer or playing in the park and when owners Frank Gallo and Bradley Zwigard realized that this void was not being meet they went right to work in figuring out how to fix this broken arrow. They did their home work and due diligence in determining how to start their new business by first working with the Mt.Olive Township board members and convincing them that this niche needed to be filled and that this duo team could pull it off. After 9 months and a solid business plan the dream became a reality and now Flanders (Mt.Olive Township) has the addition of another small business that will bring stability, pride and jobs within the community while enhancing an already positive attribute that Morris County is a strong county and the towns within are what helps maintain that strength. The next time you’re visiting one of the 3 parks in Mt.Olive or just hanging around swimming pool, have a chili dog on me and say hello to Frank and Bradley, Flanders newest and brightest young entrepreneurs
