Hillside Business & Shopping
Hillside’s business base extends well beyond Route 22. Liberty Avenue, North Broad Street, Maple Avenue and industrial/logistics areas support grocery, healthcare, personal care, child care, professional services, storage, contractors, major employers and a substantial automotive sector.
Commercial Areas
Auto dealerships, repair, tire service, supermarkets, storage and highway-oriented businesses form one of Hillside’s most visible commercial districts.
Automotive, healthcare, food, printing, logistics and service businesses line this north-south corridor.
Evans Terminal, freight forwarding, warehousing and third-party logistics connect Hillside directly to the broader Newark/Elizabeth port and distribution economy.
