Many moons ago the "Gino's property" on Essex Street was owned by a "character" named Irving Reingold. Back in the 1950's he operated an autmobile dealership at the site which was ultimately discontinued leaving the land vacant for many years until it was sold or leased to the fast food operation originally known as Gino's. This is the franchise started by Gino Marchetti of the Baltimore Colts professional football team.
Mr. Reingold was also the entrepreneur who operated the New Bell discotheteque on Route 4 East past the Coach House Diner which brought great notoriety to the City of Hackensack with the introduction of male strippers.
