Marlborough jewelry store celebrating 40 years

Joy-Den Jewelers will celebrate 40 years in Downtown Marlborough with an anniversary event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 14 at 209 Main St. The locally owned fine jewelry store has served Marlborough and the MetroWest community since 1986, according to a community announcement. The 40th Anniversary Celebration will feature refreshments, special treats, gifts with purchase and a raffle for a $400 Joy-Den Jewelers gift certificate. Joyce Marino and Dennis Marino founded Joy-Den in 1986, combining their first names to create the store's name. In the four decades since, the business has become a familiar presence in Downtown Marlborough and developed relationships with generations of customers, according to the announcement. Current owner Chad Yesue began working at the jewelry store as a teenager. He later studied jewelry making and repair at Boston's North Bennet Street School and became Joy-Den's manager before buying the business in 2005. “Forty years doesn’t happen because of one person. It happens because people choose to come back, year after year, and trust us with some of the most meaningful moments and pieces in their lives,” Yesue said. “Our incredible staff has watched customers become friends, helped their kids pick out engagement rings and cared

Zippity Do Dog is for sale again as owners cite health issues

Just six months after taking ownership of the popular Framingham hot dog stand Zippity Do Dog , owners Alan and Paponake MacIntosh are looking for a new buyer, citing health reasons. The MacIntoshes took over the beloved hot dog stand parked at 160 Speen St. in May and have since revamped the menu with new ingredients and items while continuing the nearly 20 year old business. They purchased the stand from former owner Roland Houle, who stepped away from the business after seven years to pursue a new career opportunity. In a social media post on Nov. 4, the MacIntoshes announced that they made the decision to sell Zippity Do Dog and find a new owner to continue the business. "Due to recent health complications, we have been forced to make the incredibly difficult decision to sell Zippity Do Dog," the post read. "It is a special part of the community with a wonderful history and loyal customers who have made every day worthwhile." The MacIntoshes own Doragon Eatery in Ashland, which they are also looking to sell. Alan MacIntosh told the Daily News that they have not identified a potential buyer for the restaurant and said it could be
