So often, we hear about local businesses we love that are having to close their doors for good.

For example, I drove by the Crystal Diner off 37 in Toms River the other day, and it looks like it's closed.

There's a big sign over the top of the building that says Gal Mediterranean is getting ready to open up soon.

Even the once-popular sports bar in Howell, Arooga's, had to close its doors this year as well.

Although Arooga's is getting ready to reopen as a Mr. Beast Burger, which is pretty cool.

One thing we do see a good bit of near the Jersey Shore, though, is the coffee shops opening.
