Toms River: It has been officially announced that Burlington Coat Factory will occupy the former Toys R Us store in Bey Lea Plaza. They do intend to operate both stores; here and in Brick. As per the coming soon sign, they are already looking to hire for this location.
Still no confirmation on what will occupy the former Babies R Us. Construction has not yet begun on renovations for the TRU building.
…..ugh… there’s one in brick.. on brick blvd./hooper ave. We don’t need another one!
Disappointing
exactly. was hoping for hobby lobby instead
Hobby Lobby defend bigotry.
Waste of space

Nicole Cicala ugh! The lease may not be up for awhile, I can’t imagine why they did this! Of all the things TR needs ?

We don’t want or need another junk/discount store.
We need a Whole Foods or Wegmans.
Would have been a great wholefoods
John Earp i agree
The building is small for Whole Foods and not an investment in Toms River. Demographics are not up to there (Whole Foods) standards. I’ve already contacted there real estate division.
Rick Salamon they would be able to renovate and make it bigger, Trader Joe’s is coming so it won’t be long before they follow
Rick Salamon hopefully you used spell check before sending that letter. ? their* ?♂️
John Earp you have to consider parking and how traffic would efuckt that shopping centre.
Rick Salamon yeas of course but that doesn’t stop them from doing it. There is great access on that corner to everything the parkway 37 9 etc
Ocean County is too “poor” for Whole Foods.
Not enough money
That’s exactly what they said about having an Audi and Porsche dealer on 37 but they are still there.
Amanda Ann I have to disagree with that..
Rick Salamon I’ve heard the same thing ? it’s kinda crazy, they would do really great business in this area… financially yeah there’s not their “standards”, but EVERYONE would shop there, especially my generation, anyone I talk to in their late 20’s early 30’s would absolutely love one here instead of having to drive so far, especially people with kids, who want healthier options besides just Annie’s mac and cheese and Purdue organic nuggets, and like 5 choices of grass fed organic beef ? it’s insane… I hope they change their minds eventually….
In case nobody saw this.. There is a concert being held Downtown this summer called Rock the River, an all day Festival with six bands and more. Check it out..
Amanda Ann really I live here I’m far from poor
Hope they improve their quality of clothing
Amber Gallicchio ???
Great news, thanks scanner people

Bea Ferreira
Tony Neves
Ugh Danielle Nuernberg
Lisa Nuernberg what happened to that indoor park idea?
Danielle Nuernberg what? That’s almost done In Home Depot plaza
Oh I thought it was going there
Lisa Nuernberg we need toy stores!
Debra Smith-Studley
Matthew Horner
The worst store
It would be nice to get something different like a Whole Foods or Wegmans.
you should be happy with Trader Joe’s in Brick. Whole Foods and Wegmans want nothing to do with this area. They said we don’t have the clientele for it in Toms River/Brick
Darryl Walkowicz yup. I still don’t understand why. Hopefully Trader Joe’s will do well and they will change their mind.
That site is way too small for Wegmans and way too big for Whole Foods. Whole Foods will never happen in TR because of how many wealthy people have left North Dover
i drive from TR to wegmans on 35
Chris Sy Ga Ga so do I and it’s a PITA!
Really? What a crappy choice, esp since there’s one down the road.
I thought Hobby Lobby suppose replace the Toy R Us
Julio R Caceres Jr. I wish! I was hoping that as well as it was rumored they were taking the larger TRU locations.
I don’t like hobby lobby in Howell so I went to Iselin where my cousin live in Avenel so she took me there I love it & they have very good stuff especially Christmas stuff
Hopefully it’s better than their Brick store.
Christine
Yeah I hope this one is way better than the 1 in brick that 1 sucks. Could have put something better there
Theresa Marie…, Burlington coat factory sucks in general
Lew Fiord true true lol
Why cant we get good stores in TR like Brick is?? We need to attract business like them otherwise going downhill in this town. At least it isnt a other dollar store though
Jennifer Koenigsmark TR is never going to go down hill with all the arrests and tickets these guys dish out TRPD will always keep Toms River above water and there own pockets full
Barbara Margarete
Kerry Atkinson YES!!!!
I rather have Toys r us back
Brian Black
Keep Burlington where it’s at bring back toys r us
awful store
That’s disappointing. The one in brick isn’t that far from where this one will be and it sucks.
Amanda McCalip agreed
Yuk!!!!
Patti Crimmins Kunzman can’t we ever get a decent store around here?
Diane Fleming Cunha can’t believe we need two of those?!?!? Not even one. Lol
Patti Crimmins Kunzman lol totally agree!!
Why couldn’t something really good come there
Gaye Applegate Pomeroy I was so disappointed to see it is going to be Burlington
So Brick gets Trader Joe’s and we get Burlington , another sure fire way to change the demographic even more
Sabrina Vazquez exactly. Yay for more crap.
Wegmans!! Darn it I wanted a Wegmans
Sarah I’m with you!
bullshit low income store ……y not put a thrift shop lol
Al Brander don’t talk shit about Burlington! they are like Marshalls. Same shit as the expensive stores half the price LOL

Nicholas Chirichillo
They should of just put Forman mills instead lol
Worst. Store.Ever!
Heather Senett- Barnfield agreed!
Whole foods we need a whole foods

Really? The one is brick is always empty…
Ughhh whyyyyyyyy Emily Covella
Becuase!! No matter how many times I wrote to Hobby Lobby they ignored me!!!

Sheri Ann Russell me too!
Kerri Wares
Lacey Ann yeyyyy!!! So sick of the empty stores !
We need a toy store around here
This is bizarre. The other store is like 2 miles away!?
The clothes are so junky in the Brick store! Why would we want another one so close!
I don’t like Burlington all clothes from Mexico
Could’ve used a Trader Joe’s
Colleen Zieser That is going by where Ethan Allen was
For TR I mean
Colleen Zieser I hear TJ’s is coming to Brick.
It won’t last a year.
Brick Burlington is absolutely the filthiest place. ?. Neptune one kinda sucks too. And they never have anything good.
Woodbridge Burlington is insanely superior.
Brittani Cubbedge I agree the Brick Burlington used to be so much better, now it’s so hot or miss..
Burlington Carrie’s black suits and black top hats
Jerry Kowalsky exactly
Ashleigh Capriotti all summer 19

We need a Christmas tree store in Toms River area . Brick Twp gets everything ?
Why the negative comments!? At least it’s not garbage Trader Joe’s!!!
There’s a Marshall’s like 10 feet away ? why put almost the same exact type store, just with WAY LESS items, Marshall’s carries cosmetics, Burlington last I checked doesn’t… and Marshall’s has an amazing shoe selection, the Burlington in brick has next to nothing…
I don’t get it ?
No hate on Burlington, just saying, it really makes no logical sense…
Thats crap! I thought we were getting A Hobby Lobby there!
Angela Lei I could dig that. Can never have too many craft stores even if they are all right by each other lmao.
Paula K Pickard lol
Christmas Tree would be great! Love that store. Don’t go as much anymore because of traffic on Rt70.

How disappointing.
I don’t go to the one in brick and won’t go to this one, why can’t we get something different that isn’t close by?

Burlington disappointed
Christmas Tree Store would have been Wonderful
Not even a good store!! What about a Home Sense?
Michael Trivigno
Wish Trader Joes was going in there rather than Brick!!
Sandy Sprick Weinert Brick gets everything First we just get all the traffic
Lisa Ann Rose Bricks traffic is worse
Wish they would take a hint from the consumers. I haven’t seen one positive comment. I agree it’s the last thing we need. Everyone wants a Wegmans or Trader Joe’s!
Why can’t they put a Child World there? Lol remember those?
Boring ?
I hope it is better than the Brick store. That one is a disaster! I have gone in there twice this year, and both times it looked like it was going out of business.
