7 Manasquan Businesses Have Helped So Many Amid COVID-19

MANASQUAN – Linda Turano says supporting local business amid a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic is her duty.

That's why she put in a pitch for Style Strong Fitness Wear, saying the store "sells quality clothing, the staff is very friendly and helpful."

"And shopping in Manasquan and supporting local businesses is my favorite thing to do."

This is just one of the businesses that have always been there for people in Manasquan throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Style Strong Fitness Wear was among several establishments nominated for Patch's "Business of the Year" in Manasquan as many businesses continue to battle through the coronavirus pandemic.

But it was these businesses, the customers say, that also came through for others in need – even as they were struggling themselves.
