New construction going up on Route 37 East right at Mile Post 10 and we were curious what the new construction would be. How about you?
New Construction Investigation
After a little digging we were able to find a recent sale. The lot in question (lot 9 on block 799) was previously owned by local developer and former Casino Pier owner Robert Bennett Jr. The new owner however is an LLC by the name of Toms River DG LLC.
Toms River DG LLC, is registered to the same address as a Capital Growth Buchalter (“CGB”). CGB is a construction, development, investment and management firm. CGB boasts more than 66 years of experience and a partnership with Dollar General.
Having developed approximately 700 locations in 13 states spanning nearly 20 years, Capital Growth Buchalter is a long-time, valued partner with Dollar General. The country’s largest “small-box” discount retailer relies on trusted allies like CGB to achieve and support its phenomenal growth. As a result, Dollar General has enlisted CGB to develop in some of the most highly regulated and difficult markets to enter. Likewise, the value-based partnership has helped CGB to refine and optimize its own development processes and practices over time, making the partnership a true win-win.

Confirmation
We were able to confirm our suspicions when we found the plans/renderings for the store filed with the Toms River Township Document Center from their 2019 Variance hearing. The variance was needed because the parcel sits between Route 37 (where the store will face) which is a business zone. However the store also spans to a lot facing Buermann Avenue which is a residential zone.
The plans call for a an approximately 7,500 square foot retail store and associated parking lot, plus drainage improvements, lighting and landscaping.
Dollar General Other Locations
The two nearest locations are at 1001 Fischer Blvd, in Toms River (2.05 miles) and 370 Atlantic City Blvd in Bayville (2.45 miles). There are currently a total of 8 Dollar General locations within 10 miles of this new location.
So what are your thoughts? Personally with the sale of this plot of land happening as recently as September 10th, 2020 (09/10/2020) I am quite happy to see new retail business bringing jobs to the area. Especially with all the recent business closures due to the pandemic.

There is also a drive up convenience store going in on Lowell Ave next to the WaWa on Hooper Ave. You don’t have to get out of the car.

Yes- Farm Stores.
Robert Pilovsky just like welsh farms in beachwood…..that went out of business years ago
Mike Sperber there one in point pleasant on bridge street found it and it was my first time experiencing that and loved it
Robert Pilovsky perfect spot for a traffic nitemare????
I just hate to see existing buildings not being used and woods being torn down to build stupid things. Do we really need a Dollar General another one.
Yep it’s a Dollar General. Set to open sometime in January
Not a shopper of Dollar General.
Thank god its coming, looking forward to shopping. ????
Great news, We can always use new businesses. Paying taxes, hiring workers.
New one in Manchester also between North Hampton and Commonwealth.
Toofey Mier, we saw that new one today for the first time.
What side of Route 37 East? Both sides are called East.
Lucille Imparato — East Bound side, between Exit Realty and Motel 6 (OCSN 03)
Lucille Imparato right @ Coolidge Ave heading East. Rt 37 runs East and West
Chris Ammann Well, that’s open for discussion. Stores before the Parkway coming from the ocean are both on a map, and the stores address, as East. Both sides after the Parkway, going West towards Manchester, are West on a map. That’s why I ask. For instance, Serenity Cafe shows their address as 2008 Route 37 East, and it is located going away from the ocean, which to me is West. But since it is before the Parkway, its East.
Rt 37 EAST runs from the Lakehurst circle to Seaside
Rt 37 WEST runs from Seaside to Lakehurst.
How both travel sides are know as east of the Pky or west of the Pky is confusing and stupid.
Especially to visitors.
Actually, rt 166 is the east and west address split. Addresses do not go by east bound or west bound highway direction.
Lucille Imparato excellent point and technically it is on the west bound side of 37 as you sated as is the new dollar general is on the east bound side. Regardless I think we can all agree that Rt. 37 runs east and west no matter which side of the bridge or parkway. I drive for a living and anytime we are driving on rt 37 it is always east or west bound. Happy Thanksgiving!!! Stay safe and Healthy!!
Chris Ammann Happy Thanksgiving!
