Toms River: Construction and/or Demolition has begun on the former Sabrett Hot Dog Wholesale building on NJ 37 @ Coolidge. Part of the western end of the building was torn down last week, and based off the machinery on premises- it appears demolition is next. The inside is still filled with old restaurant equipment, which appears to be destined for the recycling dumpsters on site. This building has been an eyesore on the highway for probably 15-20 years as it has sat and deteriorated. Let’s hope it is finally coming down, and something new and attractive will take its’ place.
Given the desirable corner location and excellent highway visibility, I am surprised it sat vacant for this long. What will become of this property? Initial thoughts were a convenience store or fast food, but we seem to be fairly saturated with those. Wawa, Quick Chek, and 7-11 all have stores within a mile. All the traditional fast food places already have established stores on the NJ 37 corridor. That leaves us with a new surprise store, or maybe a bank?
Either way, OCSN has filed an OPRA to Toms River Township to view any and all demolition & construction permits for the property.

Davey Jones you’re wrong
It’s definitely razed
About time. How long has it been? I liked that place.
And I suck ?
Davey Jones back to your locker
It’s going to be a spirits
Confirmed? The last thing we need here is another liquor store. 🙁
Ocean County Scanner News heard through the grapevine nothing confirmed but this town doesn’t have the best track record so I believe it. Should be a dispensary
Matthew Tursi didn’t there used to be a spirits right over there years and years ago?
Matthew Tursi heard Donofrio is involved but not a Spirits
Lori McClane not sure I’m only 28
Doug Hynoski not sure I heard spirits from a friend that’s on the zoning board
Lori McClane
There used to be a Spirits and a bar called “The Barre Chord” where the Wawa is now.
Ocean County Scanner News wonder what happened to that liquor license?
Bar restaurant that donofrio is involved with
Ocean County Scanner News before that it was zapperts.
Lori McClane there was a restaurant/bar called Zaperts. Believe it was where the Wawa is now
Finally!! Hope they build an Ocean First Bank branch or something useful.
Rochelle Trembly
Ocean First is building a new 5-Story addition at their HQ on Hooper.
Ocean County Scanner News oops forgot about that!
Why would anyone want a bank?its 2019,do people still need banks?
Rochelle Trembly no more banks! It seems like anything that opens is banks. Restaurants! Shops! That is what we need!
Town needs to do a lot more of this along 37. This is a step in the right direction. Continue westward please.
