Special Submission By Joe Cooney, JoeCooneyBiz.com
Nancy Miller, a Philly native who moved to Pennsauken 11 years ago, recently opened Ms. Nancy’s Place Soulfood Restaurant at 177 South Centre St. in Merchantville.
The spot, right on the circle off Chapel Ave., used to house a fried chicken joint, then a cheesesteak and Philly pretzel franchise, then a deli and hoagie shop.
“I’m bringing something different than the others did,” Ms. Nancy says. “There are plenty of pizza and hoagie shops around. I’ve been in the catering business for 17 years, and people were always asking me when I was going to open a restaurant.
“I finally took a leap of faith and put it in God’s hands.”

Pinsetter Bar And Bowl Offers Something For Everyone
“We’re not a snack bar bowling alley.” That’s the mindset of Mark Platzer, owner of Pinsetter Bar and Bowl, located at 7111 Maple Ave. in Pennsauken. Long gone are the days of the old Maple Bowl. Pinsetter’s kitchen has a staff of six and a kitchen manager and head chef with a fine dining background; but the establishment still caters guests as old as three and bowlers as young as 92. “We think we have something for everybody.”
