It’s always good news when a large manufacturer moves into New Jersey. It brings jobs and helps the economy in many ways. So I’m glad to see that a former Party City space just off one of New Jersey’s busiest highways is about to become a whole lot sweeter.
A doughnut manufacturer is making its big move into Rockaway, taking over nearly 125,000 square feet of space at 25 Green Pond Road. This new expansion will see Rockaway Holding Group, which has been operating out of Lodi in a much smaller 40,000-square-foot facility, triple its size.
This isn’t just any move—this facility is going to be one of the largest doughnut manufacturing hubs in North America. They’re planning to pump out over a million doughnuts every single day for their unnamed client.
Savills, the real estate brokerage behind the deal, helped secure this huge space for the company. Daniel Foley from Savills, who represented the tenant, says that this new facility will be a game-changer for the doughnut maker, giving them the space they need to scale up in a big way.
The property, which sold for $19.6 million back in 2022, used to house Party City. It sits on 13.7 acres right off I-80, so it’s a pretty prime spot. The location, near the Hibernia Diner, is definitely going to make it a convenient place for workers and delivery trucks.
While we don’t know exactly when doughnuts will start rolling out, I’m sure people in the area are pretty excited. There’s something about fresh doughnuts, right? It’s a sweet win for Rockaway.
If you want more updates, stay tuned—we’ll definitely keep an eye on this one.
