Finally, it's open. WE have been looking at the "Coming Soon" sign for years driving through Beachwood, NJ and it is open.

Wow, it's been years since the Welsh Farms drive-thru convenience store closed its doors and we've been waiting for another drive-thru convenience store to take up this location. I'm hoping it will do well.

The Toms River location is open on Rt. 37, has been closed for a while now, right next to Wawa. A taco place has taken over and the tacos are really good.

So if you are a resident in the area have you missed the former Welsh Farms Drive-Thru? Are you looking forward to this new "drive-thru" convenience store in Beachwood? Will you use this drive-thru?

Farm Stores first opened in 1958 and are known for their convenience and their daily fresh baked bread and their fresh-squeezed orange juice. Farm stores will have milk, bread, and lots of other essentials, too.

They have specials each day, from pigs in a blanket to their fresh-baked bread. Try their hot chocolate, it is really good. I do remember going through in Toms River, when they were still open, and getting it. There was something so delicious about it.

Their baked breads and their freshly squeezed orange juice is what our listeners have been raving about.

The new Farm Stores location in Beachwood is at 315 Atlantic City Blvd. (Rt. 9). You can't miss it driving through Beachwood, it's the big red building.

From the Farm Stores webpage, I guess it's not just the hot chocolate that's delicious, but their egg nog, too: "Due to the impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we’re currently facing challenges in producing our beloved Egg Nog this year. While we’re working hard to resolve this, there may be limited availability this season. To ensure you get a chance to enjoy it, we’re considering taking reservations. Thank you for your understanding and loyalty. Stay tuned for updates!"
