ABOUT THIS YEAR’S IN THE LEAD: FAMILY OWNED BUSINESSES

In following up to our previous In the Lead section focusing on women-owned businesses, we’d like to introduce you to another new special editorial section, this time focusing on Long Island’s family owned businesses. These multi-generational businesses (and some that are first-generation in the hopes of passing down their legacy), these companies run the gamut from hospitality, automotive, home and garden, law and more.

While all businesses and organizations within our region are important and necessary for our economic growth, family owned businesses bring something special to the table. Their history, legacy and ability to weather economic, environmental and other life events ensures their strength and ability to prevail.

Some of the companies profiled in the following section have outlasted two world wars, economic depressions, a health pandemic and several natural disasters. The common theme is these businesses have remained as a driving force throughout our region as a result of perseverance, hard work and embracing technology.

From all of us at LIBN, we commend you and your families for your work ethic, and your support throughout the region both professionally and through your community involvement.

As we move forward into 2025, if you, or someone you know is a leading family owned business, please reach out and let us know by emailing: [email protected].

In the meantime, I encourage you to read the profiles on the following pages and learn more about these legacy businesses.
