Passaic County has 2.1 times the national share of food and beverage stores: 496 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shoppers check hours, specials and what is in stock, so the website should show hours, weekly specials, departments and directions.

Among Hawthorne residents who work, the largest fields are education, health care and social assistance (26.5%) and professional, management and administrative services (14.4%).
