Thinking about Opening a Business in Glassboro, THINK TWICE!!!
While Glassboro has a full time economic development staff trying to acquire new businesses. We advise you to do your homework and check all the facts given to you. While it is nice to brag about the local University and student population, REMEMBER that the student population in Glassboro is only temporary. A lot are not here on weekends and Holidays and Summer breaks the students are not even here at all.
Ask these public workers / economic development Guros what experience they have with private business. If they were so successful in private business would they really be working for the Boro soliciting new businesses? Our Boro administrator who is paid extra with his crowned title as “Director of Economic Development” may have dabbled as an owner of Joe’s sub-shop but that didn’t seem to turn out too well.
Talk to multiple business owners, not just those for a a year or two but those here long tern to see what it really is like doing business in the Boro. While they wine and dine new businesses, looking for the next new ribbon cutting, how do they support you once the “honeymoon” is over?
While the Boro and their “newsletters” brag about all the “New Businesses” they fail to mention all the Businesses that have gone under.
