Crestview Pharmacy in Middletown fills up; fitness club signs up in Freehold Township

LIfe is returning to the landmark Crestview Pharmacy building on Route 35 in Middletown.

Alliance Orthopedics is remodeling the 8,000-square-foot building and expects to open sometime this summer, the company said in a statement. Crestview Pharmacy, located on Route 35 at Crestview Drive, closed in 2021 after 35 years in business.

The new orthopedics office will include eight treatment rooms and an on-site X-ray suite specializing in spine and joint orthopedics, foot and ankle care, vein treatment and pain management.

It also will have 4,000 square feet dedicated to conservative care and rehabilitation, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic care and athletic recovery.

"I am honored to bring our commitment to exceptional health care to the heart of Middletown," said Nick Bufano, chief executive officer of Alliance Orthopedics, in a statement. "The legacy of Crestview Pharmacy inspires us to continue fostering trust, loyalty and a genuine connection with our patients."

Alliance has six other offices in Freehold, East Brunswick, Bloomfield, Fair Lawn, Randolph and Old Bridge.

Out and about

Body20 , a chain of boutique fitness centers, has signed a lease for a 1,582-square-foot space at Towne Centre at Freehold, a mixed-use retail and apartment development on Route 9, said Joseph D. Morris, executive vice president at Edgewood Properties in Piscataway.

Body20, which has a studio on Route 35 in Wall, uses an FDA-cleared electro-muscle stimulation suit during a 20-minute training session, according to its website. The customized 1-on-1 training program gives the body over 150 times more muscle contractions than a conventional workout without the need to pick up a weight or use traditional gym equipment, the company said.

Towne Centre is also home to Broad Street Dough Co . and D'Angelo Italian Market . Luchin Dental also recently signed a lease for a 2,245-square-foot storefront.
