New Jersey’s dream business: A seaside retreat or a music venue — do you agree?
Whether it’s a dream wedding, college education, or business, everyone dreams of achieving something special in life.
And many business dreams reflect a deep connection to a persons native state’s unique culture and heritage, according to a survey conducted by MarketBeat.com.
The financial media companys’ report, “America’s Most Coveted Businesses in 2024,” consisted of an online panel of 3,000 participants based on age and gender across the country revealed what types of businesses Americans truly aspire to own.
In New Jersey, the top choice residents dream of owning is a Cape May bed and breakfast. New Jerseyans’ second choice includes owning a music venue. We can surely thank all the music icons for inspiring this business venture.
“Cape May is famous for its charming Victorian homes, and owning a bed and breakfast in this historic town would be a perfect fit for those who love hospitality and history. It’s about providing elegant accommodations in a beautifully restored home, offering gourmet breakfasts, and giving guests a relaxing, romantic getaway by the sea,’ says MarketBeat.
“Our survey shows that Americans dream of owning businesses that aren’t just about profit but also about preserving traditions, sharing passions, and building community connections,” says Matt Paulson, founder of MarketBeat.com.
Below are some of the most desired businesses that capture the imaginations of locals from the tri-state area and Conneticut:
- New York: People are charmed by the idea of owning a Hampton beachfront restaurant.
- Delaware: The ultimate expression of the state’s food is to own a Chesepeak Bay Crab Shack.
- Pennsylvania: The dream is more intellectual, with residents imagining owning a Philadelphia Art Gallery.
- Connecticut: Residents picture themselves as the proprietors of an Antique Shop in Litchfield Hills
“These are the businesses that give life to our neighborhoods and inspire others to follow their own entrepreneurial dreams,” concludes the report.
