New Owners Seek Return to ‘Classic Charm’ of Ramsey Nursery

After spending two years under a revamped business model, the lawn and garden shop on Franklin Turnpike has new owners, who say they want to honor the store’s 60-year history in Ramsey.

It is hard to drive by the Ramsey Nursery on Franklin Turnpike without noticing that the garden center is back in business. The outdoor shelves are stocked with flowers, ‘Open’ flags are flying at the store’s entrance, and locals are stopping in to see what the new shop has to offer. For new owner John Occhiuto, he hopes the answer is more of what it always had offered. Ramsey Nursery, Occhiuto said, first opened in that location over 60 years ago. Former owner Mike Rublino spent decades selling plant and garden goods to the community before retiring two years ago. The business that replaced Ramsey Nursery initially, Horticulture, was a revamped version of the shop that went out of business at the beginning of this year. Occhiuto, who has …

Local Man Starts First Bergen County Flag Football League

The entrepreneur says the NFL-registered league will be open to first graders through adults who want to play.

A local entrepreneur has started a new league that he says will help fill a void in the Bergen County sports scene. Carl Susini, who has lived in Mahwah with his wife since 2004, was a coach in the Mahwah Youth Football League for eight years before serving as president of the Bergen Passaic Youth Football League. Though Susini and his wife could not have any children, he says the impact youth sports had on him as a child prompted him to become involved in the existing programs in the township, and create something new. “I remember the experience I got,” he said. “It was not only educational, I learned things that were really life-changing. I want to be able to help give kids that.” In 2010, Susini founded Youth Sports World, a sports …
