Go Inside "Boss" Melissa Gorga's Envy Store Opening Complete with RHONJ Cast Cameos
Melissa Gorga celebrated her store opening with an A-list guest list that included her family and several of her RHONJ cast members.
Melissa Gorga might have been "on display" once upon a time, but now her latest outpost of her Envy boutique is in the spotlight after having its grand opening on Sunday.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member has been candid about her longtime love of clothes and she made that passion a career when she opened her first boutique, Envy by Melissa Gorga, in New Jersey in 2015. Almost 10 years later, the shop has expanded and just debuted in a brand-new state this past weekend. Melissa took to Long Island on Sunday, March 24, where she (along with her friends, family, and some RHONJ cast members) celebrated the grand opening of the new brick-and-mortar location of Envy by Melissa Gorga.

Where is the new Envy by Melissa Gorga store located?
Melissa opened up the Huntington, New York location of Envy for shoppers on Sunday. And for those who couldn't make it, she shared all the details to social media. In the photo carousel posted to her main Instagram feed, Melissa stood behind the counter of the shop; posed with her husband, Joe Gorga and daughter, Antonia; and took photos with her supporters who shopped from the racks of clothes.
Previously Melissa has noted this new location for Envy will be "double the size" of the original store (the likes of which you can tour in the video above). At the time, she added, "I worked hard to be where I am and it was worth every second. I’m so grateful to everyone who has made my store a success."
"Welcome to Envy by Melissa Gorga Huntington," Melissa wrote in the caption of the post. "Thank you so much to all of the amazing people that showed up. Including all of my amazing friends I appreciate you more than you know. And shoutout to The Ivy for the delicious food and cocktails after."
Videos posted to Melissa's Instagram Stories showed that there was a line out the door all day, with people eager to shop and meet her. But she also had some very special people to come and show their support, including Antonia, who traveled from Delaware where she attends college to Long Island, and later shared some highlights to Instagram.

Melissa was surrounded by some of her RHONJ cast members, including Margaret Josephs and Rachel Fuda, who drove all the way to Long Island to show their support. Even The Real Housewives of New York City alum, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, made an appearance at the store.
Margaret took to Instagram where she shared photos and videos from the bustling shop's big day. "Congrats my boss babe, Melissa Gorga, on the grand opening of your location!!," she wrote in the caption of her post. "Love watching you shine!!"
On her Instagram Story, Rachel revealed that she and her husband, John Fuda, had drove over an hour just for the opening. "Melissa, I hope you have snacks because I'm so hungry," she said in a video taken from her car. Once she was there, Rachel shared her admiration for her close friend.
