5 Old South Jersey Businesses Residents Miss The Most

Get ready for AAAALLLLLL the nostalgia. It's coming at you full force.

Ever been so hangry that you're desperate for a meal and, to make matters worse, you want your favorite food from a restaurant that has unfortunately closed up shop?

The WORST.

It's happened to the best of us. Those of us here South Jersey, we unfortunately know that feeling all too well.

A few years ago, restaurants were closing left and right.

Nobody was sure which places would be left after that nonsense that was the pandemic was all said and done. Most places did make it through that hard time. Of course, the same can't be said for everybody.

South Jersey businesses residents would LOVE to see reopened

It's safe to say that the ones that did have to close, we miss them like crazy.

When asked which old school South Jersey businesses local residents still wish were open, it seems like people kept saying the same few places.

1.) Five Guys

You may recall that there was once a Five Guys location in Somers Point. There's still a location in Absecon, but Somers Point to Absecon is certainly a hike for a burger.

2.) Ground Round

I remember Ground Round! Not the Shore Mall location, but the one in Deptford. It sounds like everyone in EHT loved the Ground Round just as much as I did growing up. It used to be a great place to bring your kids for dinner, remember?

3.) Sears

Everybody used to go to Sears for their appliances. Those days are long gone since Sears basically ceases to exist at this point. Now, there are a few locations left, but nowhere near us.

4.) Zaberer's

People used to LOVE Ed Zaberer's Zaberville. They had two locations, one in North Wildwood and one in Egg Harbor Township. This place had something for EVERYBODY. There was even a game room with arcade games that would be considered archaic at this point.

5.) TW Sports

The one place Egg Harbor Township residents still rant and rave about is TW Sports. I never got the chance to go there, but apparently it was this really great place that had a lot that older kids would like to do. It was basically an amusement park perfect for preteens. They had mini golf, arcade games, and more. Apparently, you could even swim there, too.

It sounds an awful lot like the Funplex in Marlton, but other than that, there's really nothing to compare it to down here in deep South Jersey.
