Ocean County Scanner News received a surprising news tip today. The report said that the Burger King on Fischer Blvd in Toms River had suddenly closed. In fact the Burger King corporate website, still shows the location as open.
We sent our own OCSN17 (Gary Beeg Jr) out to get some more info.
According to an unnamed source, the landlord for the lot increased the rent, and the decision was made to close. It was said that all employee’s had either transferred to other restaurant locations, or found other employment.
But don’t fear, Burger King is not leaving Tom’s River all together. There is another location at 44 Route 37 East in Toms River willing to offer you a Whopper of a deal.

what kind of sorcery is this?
I think the Lacey Township location shut down about 15 years ago, only the public and the employees didn’t get the memo.
Jason Price it def should shut Down……the wood in the broken window for almost a year is a nice touch n the elastic strap holding the ordering menu sign together is awesome too
Jason Price when was all this?
Jason Price
Have it your way.
Is it true? BK is going for bankruptcy?

Ty Kim Budinski heard the owner didn’t want to renew the lease. I feel bad for the people that lost their jobs due to poor ownership. Best of luck to them all.

Kenny Monica..u love this place…lol
Nikki Maniscalco Crincoli Kenny Monica an I just ate there last Wednesday! ? wow!
Wayne Richard wow is right!!!
Just so y’all know… That store was not properly staffed because they couldn’t get ( or keep ) the help they needed. Always not enough people on each shift to keep up with everything. Not their fault. The owner is the one who kept it that way. The empolyees can only do so much. They can only do what they are told to do by the owner. Trust me… They didn’t like it either.
Gigi Albertson but every time I’m in there, there’s no customers.
Don’t know how the staffing has anything to do with this. I was at this particular Burger King this past Thursday.. 5 employees on.. and I was the only person in the place
Katie Hickman
Just great. The Outcast Cruisers has their weekly meet in that parking lot starting this Thursday. Many members eat there.
I worked there
Like 20 years ago lol

WORST
Isn’t the owner of the property owns the old food Town?They left cause rent to high.They need to put something in that shopping area.
Diana Lipman-Malko building is condemned
What building the old food Town?The dollar tree is part of that store.Then why don’t they take down from food town to bank off.
Rumors are, orthodox bought the mall….dont know if that’s true, I just closed my salon in there, I made right decision
Oh boy it’s going to get worse
Building was for sale for a little bit now. Last day was Sunday.
Corporate decision, Burger King Inc. Will be gone by end of year, already in Bankruptcy…..TM

Didn’t even know there was one on Fischer lol
I only use their parking lot when I go pick up my dinner at Chicken Town.. the one time I did go into that BK it seemd a bit aged & dirty
Because the Jews bought the plaza. Everyone will be getting out.
The managers knew about it for weeks and supposedly didn’t tell any employees… that’s pretty shitty

A bagel place is going there.
To let your readers know that the Fisher BLVD Burger King has reopened as Joe’s Bagel and Grill. I believe it’s the same group that took over the Subway on Cedar Bridge in Brick.
