Brad Finkel founded Hoboken Farms in 1992. His family has had deep roots in Hoboken dating back to around 1895. As a youngster, whenever Brad visited friends, he was always asked to bring fresh bread, mozzarella, and pastas from Hoboken's local shops. Soon, neighbors and ex-Hobokenites who missed these local delicacies began requesting deliveries as well. Brad saw an opportunity and started a small business to meet this demand. The entrepreneur details his growing line of farm market products and how a critical new investment is helping Hoboken Farms continue its evolution into a beloved supermarket brand. Brad speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily. (Source: Bloomberg)
