3 Moorestown Businesses That Stood Out In 2020

MOORESTOWN, NJ — In a year worth forgetting, a number of Moorestown businesses were anything but forgetful. And for the right reasons.

Chosen by Patch readers, these businesses in particular played a big role in making 2020 a little more bearable.

Throughout the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, take-out, and, eventually, outdoor dining, brought a sense of normalcy to a year that was anything but.

However, other businesses also stepped up, exemplifying the qualities we should all aspire toward.

Patch readers cited that and more in explaining why these establishments should be considered the best of the year. Below are three local restaurants nominated by them:

Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy

Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy employee Veronica Kraft shouted out her own workplace, writing, "seeing firsthand what Ivy Rehab has done to serve their communities and patients has been nothing short of amazing."

Kraft pointed out how hard Ivy employees have worked to create a safe and healthy space for clients and even offered telehealth visits.

"With surgeries on hold, we keep people moving, we reduce the risk of falls so our loved ones don't land in hospitals during COVID," Kraft wrote. "We keep people going when sometimes the motivation has left us. We make a difference. A positive difference. And I think that is what the world needs."

Edge Salon and Spa

"It’s a one-stop shop for all your personal care services. Hair, nails, skin, body, massage, spray tanning, Paul Mitchell retail products, skincare products, you name they have it," wrote employee Fred Ippolito. "The customer experience is top-notch. The service providers are educated and skilled in the latest trends and treatments. During this time of uncertainty and with all the restrictions put upon them, they have exceeded expectations for cleanliness, mask wearing and social distancing still with a relaxing atmosphere."

Posternock Apell

Law firm Posternock Apell supports special education and has worked throughout the pandemic to offer services for students most impacted by school closures, said customer Lori Sacalis.

"When the shut down process began, the team at the Ffrm brainstormed how to supply services for the children who would be most significantly impacted educationally, and provided free 1-hour consultations to families seeking support as well as moved a working ‘toolbox’ of printable resources online to assist parents whose children were affected," Sacalis wrote. "They then additionally transitioned the standard legal services to formats that worked for the new environment (drive by will signings!!). Transitioning services allowed them to retain all of their staff protecting the families of those who support the community."

Patch readers nominated a Local Businesses of the Year. The local businesses included retail stores, restaurants, hardware shops, dry cleaners, plumbers, car mechanics, salons and more.Nominated businesses will be featured throughout December.
