Bennett, Wyoming Avenue Hall’s troubles a sign of times By most accounts, the financial troubles at Short Hills Caterers lay buried inside the locked filing cabinets or within the password-protected computers inside 610 Morris Turn- pike. They weren’t members of the Millburn-Short Hills Cham- ber of Commerce. But that didn’t mean anything, according to chamber lead- ers who note that many businesses don’t belong for a variety of reasons up to and including financial problems. To the vendors who worked with Short Hills Caterers, and to the couples whom paid deposits as high as $15,000 each, the closure of the business and filing of insolvency surely must have come as a shock. Short Hills Caterers had been a staple of this community for 46 years. According to local attorneys, the business had been owned by the same family for that entire time. So when did the trouble, to the tune of $500,000, begin? Township records show that Short Hills Caterers sold its liquor license last summer. Whether they disclosed this fact to couples who contract- ed for weddings and celebrations is unclear. But as attorneys have pointed out, liquor could be served on the premises if the clients contracted directly with a vendor. Somewhere along the line, the business decided to transfer its liquor license, which gave them $600,000 to continue oper- ating. Sadly, it wasn’t enough. Lawyers liquidate assets for failed companies all the time. In recent years, the process has occurred with greater frequency. Economists will tell you that business failure is a natural weeding out of extraneous ventures that were not meant to be.
