Aficiandos of Hess toy trucks can rest assured that Christmas sales of their toy trucks will continue at the corporation's convenience stores.
Recent headlines announcing Hess Corporation's exit from the energy marketing and refining end of its global business will not affect what is perhaps its second-most-coveted consumer item after the petrol: the Hess Toy Truck. "The toy trucks which have been a tradition for 48 years will continue," a Hess spokesperson said, adding that "this November, the company will continue to sell the trucks at their stores." Since 1964, Hess Corporation has sold its classic toy trucks; offering a variety of collectible miniature trucks to consumers at the start of the holiday season each year in November. Despite the corporation's impending closure of its 1,350 retail gas stations, consumers will still be able to find the eclectic toys at Hess …
The oil company that's selling off its retail gas stations said the accompanying convenience stores are being sold along with them
Hess spokesman Dennis Moynihan wants it made clear: Hess is not closing the convenience stores that operate along with their gas stations. "What does that mean? We're not closing our convenience stores," Moynihan said Tuesday in an effort to clarify the record. When the news broke on Monday that Hess would be divesting itself of its retail gasoline stations and other retail operations to focus on oil development and exploration, Moynihan said many people were under the impression that the convenience stores would be closing. Nothing, he emphasized, could be further from the truth. "That means we're looking for different ownership opportunities. It didn't mean we are going to own the stores," but it means whoever the buyer is of the Hess …

The Woodbridge-based oil business will now divest itself of 1,350 gas stations, many of which operate in New Jersey and 17 other Eastern Seaboard states.
The familiar green and white Hess signs that dot the Woodbridge landscape and much of New Jersey may soon be no more. Hess Corporation announced Monday in a letter to shareholders at their annual meeting that it was divesting itself of its retail gasoline and convenience store operations, in an effort to restructure the company and improve its balance sheet. The move will affect 1,350 gas stations - many owned by Hess itself - that operate in 18 states on the Eastern Seaboard. The gas stations serve as many as 1.3 million customers a day, according to a report in Supermarket News. Hess did not say when it would begin either closing or selling off its gas stations, although a press release accompanying the news said that their closure, …

A charge is not a conviction and suspects are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
A Newark resident already behind bars faces charges old and new in connection with a string of commercial burglaries between Parsippany and Cranford. Parsippany Police says Abdurraheem Akbar, 52, is being held in Union County Jail for similar incidents in Mountainside and Cranford. The township's part of the story began in early March, when Parsippany officers were called to commercial buildings at 959 Route 46 and 181 and 239 New Road to investigate burglaries reported between March 2 at 5 p.m. and the start of the business day on March 5. Police said five businesses in all were burglarized and that two others were found to have pry marks on the locks of their main entry doors.

Prices have not been set for liquor license sales, but local restaurateurs are ready to start the bidding.
Patrons of Ponte Vecchio, the restaurant located in New Providence's Murray Hill Inn, don’t have to travel any further than the inn’s front desk for a bottle of wine to go with dinner. Bill Boyle, owner of Boyle Hotels and Best Western PLUS Murray Hill Inn and Suites, said the inn does have a retail wine license arrangement through Amalthea Cellars, which is a certified New Jersey winery that has won international competitions. While that relationship has worked out well for the inn, Boyle said he would like to expand it by purchasing a liquor license. “We have very much enjoyed that relationship [with Amalthea Cellars]. But to have a license that would allow us to offer our guests a wider array of wine, beer, whatever, that’s obviously a …

In 2012, borough residents might be able to buy a drink in a restaurant. Patch begins a four-part series that explores the history of how a dry town makes the decision to spike the punch.
Puritans founded the town known as Turkey in 1720 on the principles of hard work, kindness and humble temperance. Nearly 300 years later, New Providence remains nestled among the Watchung Mountains of Union County, harmoniously wrapped in friendly neighbors, highly regarded students, state-champion athletes, beautiful neighborhoods, wide open parks, and many Fortune 500 companies to support the tax base. While homes and buildings may have changed with the times, the downtown shopping district contains a few retail stores, but is largely made up of service-driven and food-based businesses. With a few BYO restaurants and none with liquor licenses, low-key civic and business pride doesn’t depend on “spirits." Until now, when for the first …
