COULD IT BE HAPPENING? Finally there was some action this week at the old Foodtown in Toms River, in the Kohl's plaza. This location in the Toms River Shopping Center has been empty for quite a while and we got so many responses on what you'd like to see there.

Everybody on Facebook is wondering what is moving in. You had so many opinions on what you want in Toms River. Let's hope it's something good.

The building and business is definitely shaped like a supermarket because that's what it was at one time. I remember that the supermarket was so busy all the time, it was sad when it closed. What type of business would be a good fit for the Toms River Shopping Center?

It's a giant store and there is so much you could do for this location. There's a lot of traffic and it's right off of 37 and the Garden State Parkway entrance is. It's the perfect location for something great for Toms River and surrounding areas.

I think this building would be too big for a restaurant. I think it needs to be something bigger. Could this be the place for a Trader Joe's? Possibly another retail store? What do you think would be perfect in this location? I would love to see what you think would be perfect in this location that would be awesome for the residents of Toms River and Ocean County.

Toms River always asks for a Wegman's. It's always the number one choice of residents of Toms River and surrounding areas.

I'm thinking, this would be the perfect location for Trader Joe's or Wegman's. Those are two businesses you always ask for, why not? Thank you for all of your ideas and for telling us what you want.

At Kohl's Plaza, (the old Foodtown) here are 10 that you chose you want to see in this location...
