Ocean City Antiques & Collectables Shop Closing Permanently

After Saturday's final sale, Only Yesterday will be only a memory. Owners of the longtime Ocean City antiques and collectable shop are citing coronavirus and personal health concerns as the reason for going out of business after 33 years.

Only Yesterday, best known for their Ocean City Boardwalk location which closed in 2018,  is having what they are calling a "demolition sale" Saturday, at their store at 11th and Asbury, to empty out store fixtures and odds and ends before closing for good.

In late September, the store broke the news on Facebook about their closing.

Soooooo sorry but our 1137 Asbury store is closing forever!!!!!! Due to the virus and personal health factors we are unable to continue . We will dearly miss our loyal customers and will cherish the memories !

Another Facebook post Wednesday gave more details about their final day in business this Saturday.
