FARMINGDALE, NY, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Planet Nugg proudly commemorated the first anniversary of opening its Farmingdale location on September 6, 2024. In just one year, Planet Nugg grew into a cornerstone of the Long Island business community, employing 50 full-time team members, forging meaningful community partnerships, and driving local economic development.

As the company marked this milestone, Planet Nugg prepared to expand its presence with a new store in Riverhead, expected to open in 2025. This second location will create an additional 25 full-time jobs, reaffirming Planet Nugg’s commitment to building opportunities and strengthening Long Island’s economy.

Planet Nugg’s first year was defined not only by economic contributions but also by a deep dedication to community impact. The company invested in a wide range of initiatives supporting veterans, seniors, students, and families across the region. Among its many partnerships and contributions:
Freebird Org – Free to Heal Workshop Series (Recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor)

“Our first year was a testament to the strength and spirit of Long Island,” said Dave Tubens, Founder and Owner of Planet Nugg. “From job creation to community engagement, we were proud of what we accomplished and even more excited about what lies ahead as we expand our footprint and deepen our roots across the Island.”

Planet Nugg’s impact extended beyond job creation. As a proud Long Island-based business, Planet Nugg contributed to the region’s economic vitality through its tax revenues, which helped support essential services, including the Town of Babylon’s Mental Health and Anti-Addiction programs.

“Our mission has always been to be more than a business—we strive to be a trusted neighbor and a partner in the growth and well-being of Long Island,” said Tubens. “Over the past year, we were honored to work alongside so many dedicated community organizations, and we look forward to continuing that partnership for years to come.”

Planet Nugg reaffirmed its mission of creating jobs, giving back, and building lasting partnerships that enhance the quality of life for Long Island residents.
