What Ocean City Businesses Do You Miss?

Ocean City, NJ - Businesses open and close, but the impression they leave on a community can last long after they board up their doors.

Has your favorite venue vanished from Ocean City? If you’re missing an old hardware store, bakery or mom-and-pop shop, you’re in good company.

We asked Patch Readers in Ocean City what extinct local business they’d bring back from the dead. Here’s a list of one-time favorites:

• “Campbell’s Seafood! Their food was a dinner every weekend during the summer. The crab imperial was the best!”

• “Larzelere’s Penny Candy Store at 4th St. and the boardwalk. I can still recall the wonderful smells and the way the building creeked when high tide came in under the boards.”

• “Studibagels and Bagels by the Beach.”

• “The Wawa”
  
• “Old Salt”

• “Smugglers Shop”

• “Watson’s Restaurant”
