Toms River: A little while ago we noticed the Seaside Farm & Garden stand was demolished. This was a tiny operation on NJ 37 East, just east of Hooper. Nestled between the Hooper Avenue interchange and Lowell (a Wawa) is a small piece of land. Now that the land has been cleared, the new tenant has been announced.

The sign says: Farm Stores coming soon! There is also a second location opening in Beachwood.

What is a Farm Store you ask? Taken below from their website explains it.

Farm Stores provides a unique neighborhood experience. A combination of grocery store, bakery and restaurant, we give you the freshest products in the most convenient manner: the equivalent of a drive-thru supermarket express lane.

We offer all your favorite grocery brands in addition to products you won’t find anywhere else, and we bring it all directly to your car! In fact, Farm Stores has been a convenient last stop on the way home for families for nearly 60 years.

Although Farm Stores has evolved to best serve the needs of today’s busy consumer, our brand integrity has remained intact. A nostalgic experience for multiple generations of Floridians, we are now franchising our beloved brand, bringing the Farm Stores experience to communities across America and beyond.
