Welcome my CBD Organics

Downtown Denville now has a high-end shop specializing in, and dedicated to, CBD treatments and products. Their attractive casual lounge-like store is reflective of many top beauty stores featuring lotions, oils, and more made with Cannabidiol products (CBD). Recently, CBD has been an important health trend showing great results in maintaining good skincare, reducing pain and inflammation, stress reduction, and other benefits. While it is derived mostly from hemp plants, it is non-intoxicating, 100% legal, and gaining heavy use in health and wellness.

Stop in and visit owners, Giovanni and Sharquana, who are happy to talk with you about their products. The my CBD Organics team has already been active in helping promote Downtown Denville’s outstanding shopping district.

Denville—One of the Best Shopping Districts

Recently Morris/Essex Health and Life Magazine unveiled their Reader’s Choice awards for the best shops, restaurants, and more.  We are proud of downtown Denville dominating the results by having businesses from our downtown district chosen as top pick in twenty-one different categories, not to mention many 2nd place awards for our shops too. Visit Morris/Essex Health and Life magazine to see the results which include many awards for businesses outside our downtown district as well. In addition, out of nearly 30+ downtowns in Morris County, Denville was chosen the 2nd best overall shopping destination.  We are striving to take the top spot next year as we continue downtown improvements such as new sidewalks, landscaping, streetlights, an enhanced sound system, great new shopping events and more.

First Avenue Improvements

You may have noticed all of the construction on First Avenue in downtown Denville. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we promise any stress it may cause will be worth it. Within a few months, the renovations taking place will result in:

  • Re-paved and replaced sidewalks
  • Lamp posts that will match Broadway with floral hooks and flag pole brackets
  • New landscaping 
  • A re-organized parking lot 
  • A small stone decorative wall in front of the parking lot that will surround Diamond Spring Road as well
  • An enhanced sound system & speakers within the lights that sync up with Broadway

The First Avenue improvements should be complete by the end of the year, barring any unforeseen delays. The essentials, like removal of the old sidewalk and curb and the installation of a new curb and paver sidewalk, should be complete within a few weeks. In addition, we are excited to welcome a new bakery to First Avenue, hopefully opening soon! We can’t wait! Stay tuned.

Talking Downtown

Downtown Denville Board Member, Gene Fitzpatrick, was a guest on Denville Radio with DJ LeFave last week where they chatted about the great things going on downtown, including Pink Witches Girls Night Out on October 17th. Listen in to hear DJ LeFave and Gene cover how the Business Improvement District (BID) was formed, its mission and goals, and the promising things ahead. We are currently working on street, landscape and parking improvements, additional marketing tactics, and more exciting events.

Third Annual Restaurant Week – Another Big Success

The Downtown Denville Business Improvement District (BID) recently celebrated its third annual Restaurant Week. This mid-September event is a wonderful time to invite our residents and visitors to dine out in Denville and visit their tried-and-true favorite restaurants and discover new establishments, and this year was no exception. Over 20 restaurants and retailers joined forces to offer their patrons special menus, discounts, and more, and restaurant owners enjoyed a nice uptick in their business during the event week. Denville has always had a thriving food scene, and Restaurant Week is a wonderful celebration of it. Follow Dine Out Denville on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with Denville’s food scene year ’round.
