Sunset Beach Sportsmen's Club Gets Liquor License Renewal Amid DEP Dispute

 The Sunset Beach Sportsmen’s Club in New Jersey received unanimous council approval to renew its liquor license after the state DEP temporarily halted its opposition. The DEP has paused its annual request to deny the license, choosing to wait for the outcome of a pending eviction action against the club. The dispute involves the club's location on state-acquired land, with arguments over alcohol sales on state property. The club has maintained its presence since 1957 and remains a charitable community member.

From ACME to Walmart: Why These NJ Supermarkets Made the Worst Chains List

Notably, three of the worst-ranked chains have a significant presence in New Jersey: ACME, Walmart, and Save-A-Lot. ACME, once a top choice, now struggles with higher prices and changing ownership. Walmart, while convenient, faces criticism over produce quality. Save-A-Lot is known for budget-friendly options but receives complaints about product quality and service.
