(Photo: Daniel Nee)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Brick Township suddenly lost a new business that was gaining popularity over the weekend, Shorebeat has learned.<\/p>\n<p>Uncle Gino\u2019s Market, which replaced Top Tomato on Brick Boulevard earlier this year, shut its doors suddenly on Sunday, after a shopper told us everything appeared seemingly normal the day before.<\/p>\n<p>Uncle Gino\u2019s was owned by\u00a0Gino Palummo, who runs a store in Manalapan that remains open. On social media late Monday night, the store\u2019s page announced the closure was \u201cdue to circumstances beyond our control.\u201d All of the food items have been moved to the Manalapan location, which will continue to operate. In January, Shorebeat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shorebeat.com\/brick\/2017\/01\/uncle-ginos-market-owner-comes-full-circle-with-new-store-in-brick\/\">profiled Palummo<\/a> in an article, where he detailed his experience as an executive in the supermarket industry before starting his own family business. Palummo had also recently joined the Chamber of Commerce and stressed that he wanted to be involved in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Sources said there were no issues with the store\u2019s building or\u00a0health permits, and the closure caught officials off guard. The physical building remains under the ownership of Top Tomato, which still operates stores in New York.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/2017\/04\/uncle-ginos-market-closes-abruptly-in-brick\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brick Township suddenly lost a new business that was gaining popularity over the weekend, Shorebeat has learned&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10171,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1649],"tags":[24,2839,2707],"class_list":["post-10748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-business","tag-brick-nj-news","tag-gino-palummo","tag-uncle-ginos-market"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/uncle_gina_brick.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pgt2Ft-2Nm","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
