[AsburyPark] Re: Clothes Pricing
I've seen alot of people going into Style Rocket, but I don't see many coming out with purchases. Sure, some people can afford $100 tee shirts. But high end retail on our boardwalk isn't really the best use of the space, especially on nights when the boardwalk is packed with families and people attending musical events. Let's not even talk about the economy. By the way, Boscov's in Monmouth Mall is going out of business and having a huge sale. Clothes at up to 75% off. Sounds good to me. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, wernerapnj [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Mark Mark mark07712@ wrote: I bought 2 pairs of shorts at style rocket and a t-shirt to go along with it.

I've walked by Bodega and never see anyone leaving the store with anything... right next door though, at Candyteria, there always seems to be someone walking out with probably $15-20 worth of candy. The restaurants in CH arcade seem to be doing very well. People like cheesesteaks and clams and sodas and beers. People expect a boardwalk when they come to the boardwalk. My favorite question here is, Where is the video arcade? Kids love video games. My parents always gave me $5 to go play games for an hour at Jenks when I was a kid. It gave me something to do, and gave them a chance to enjoy a few beers while I played. Although $5 now would probably only get a kid 2 plays in a machine. The boardwalk wont make it as a lifestyle center. For people who need trendy clothes, they can go to the Grove at Shrewsbury for that. Its right up the road just like Marshall's. On a positive note regarding family entertainment the waterpark seems to be coming along nicely. With the waterpark and mini golf, there are now two permanent family attractions on the boardwalk. Hopefully the success of the two will only promise more of the same to come. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: Clothes Pricing
I think it's more of an observation then picking on I happen to like their store, but my own personal feeling is that high end retail isn't the best tenent for the boardwalk. I'd like to believe that people don't come to the boardwalk to spend big bucks on clothing. To me, it's really more about a day in the sun, the beach and people watching, not to mention the music events that really brought the people in this past weekend. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Allan Peterson nnjallans1@ wrote: Nobody has to shop there if they don't want to and time will tell if this business will last.� It is quite possible that someone had a dream and took a risk on Asbury Park.� MM is filling up the boards with stores and the people are here.� Exactly.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Clothes Pricing
That's true. Next year things will be different i'm sure. Also, since the goal was to have a year round beach front, There should be things open all fall and winter on the boardwalk... A bar/restaurant is planned where the previous Cabana Club was. It looks neat how the back of the bar seems to face the window.
