OPINION: Is It Time For Chick-fil-A in Toms River, New Jersey

Is It Time For Chick-fil-A in Toms River?

In Ocean County, we have Chick-fil-A in Brick Township, and in Stafford Township, in between there isn't a location and it brings up the question "Are we ready for a Chick-fil-A in Toms River?" My personal opinion is that the area has more than enough customers to make it work and save folks the trip south to Manahawkin or up the road to Brick.

There is a new line of spring drinks I'd like to try out "Cherry Berry". The Cherry Berry Sunjoy is like an Arnold Palmer (iced tea and lemonade) with a twist of cherry. There are other versions including iced tea, lemonade, and a frosted lemonade. Sounds pretty tasty.

As far as locations, several dead spots along Route 37 could make for a convenient location for a new Chick-fil-A in Toms River. This may be a stretch but would a Chick-fil-A work in  Downtown Toms River? There is an empty bank location along Main Street that has a drive-thru. Could this location make for a spot for a Chick-fil-A in Toms River? or would it make for too much traffic and congestion? It would need to have space along Route 37. Let us know what you think.
