Countless memories have been made by, dare I say, millions of locals and tourists over the last 80 years. Now, this great business is up for sale and the price tag is equally memorable.

With changes to emphasis innovation, a plan to create the Government Efficiency and Regulatory Review Commission is one vote from legislative approval.

When you have a business that closes is a new similar business the best idea? Or do you think a fresh “different” idea is the way to go? Really there is no clear cut idea that is right. Obviously there are dollars attached to these locations and that is the driving force as to what happens or not in most cases. No one is going to give away prime real estate in Toms River for free, just to see a rejuvenation project.
