OT: My AC Boardwalk Shop Opens tomorrow

[dconifer]

Mods, please delete if this is a violation. I'm trying to be vague, so as not to make this a plug, but lots of people seemed interested in knowing how this was going.

Our AC Boardwalk shop is finally opening tomorrow. Man, have I learned a lot about red tape, bureaucracy, and disinterested contractors.

We'll be displaying a block "R" for my son, a Rutgers grad who will be running it, and a Maryland crab for me....

 

[FanuSanu52]

Cool, what kind of shop is it? (keeping it vague)

Won't be in AC anytime soon, but I wish you luck!

 

[bac2therac]

what do you sell?

 

[Zak57]

Clothes, food, drinks??

 

[MulletCork]

Hey is it the water ice place?
Talked on here in the fall about it.
I looked for it last weekend but I guess that's why we didn't see it. My wife likes to go to the ones in Ocean City. Good luck!!

Where on the Boardwalk

 

[RocktheRac]

Do tell.

I don't think anyone minds a plug for a business once in awhile (maybe once or twice a year), as most of us like to know what other posters are up to and will often support other posters - I think plugging more than that becomes annoying. Others may have different annoyance thresholds, though.

Best wishes.

I'll be in AC Friday and Saturday. Let us know know more so I can come by.

 

[The Original Rah]

what do you sell?

Block 'R' magnets and Teddy Bears.

 

[delaynomore]

Good luck!

@dconifer You are going to need to work on your marketing skills. New shop AC Boardwalk is not all that informative.

What's the name of the shop?
What kind of shop?
Where on the Boardwalk?
What are your hours?

If I recall from a past thread he is opening up a Polish Water Ice store??? I was up on the AC boardwalk last week on my bike and was looking for it but didn't see it. He should do well, there are not a lot of ice cream or Italian ice places on that boardwalk, as opposed to the OC boardwalk where we have one every other store.

Is this the kind of shop that exchanges goods for money?

The Polish Water Ice stands in Ocean City are good.

 

[dconifer]

Thanks for all the kind words. I didn't give too much information because it's against the TOS to plug a business. I was mostly telling all my friends here that the project is done!

You can tell us what type of business without breaking any rules

Same for me. But I did notice a new Rita's about ready to open. So maybe.

You can't say what you sell? Huh?

It's not really a violation to give us information about a business you've opened up. So feel free to expound on it.

 

[demauroj]

All this suspense and we are going to find out the he will be selling doggy chew toys.

It beats another fortune teller or rub & tug joint on the AC Boardwalk.

 

[PhilaPhans]

Go ahead and tell us. As long as you aren't legitimately plugging it everywhere, nobody will really care.

 

[Ole Cabbagehead]

Try a polish water ice
Try it with soda
Try it with ice cream

 

[CERU00]

Ive assumed it's a marketing gimmick but are there any differences between polish water ice and Italian ice?

 

[TrueRU]

That is some stealth marketing. I guess we'll have to go to every store on the boardwalk and ask if the guy running it is a Rutgers grad...

Just look for the block "R" and the Maryland crab! It's like a scavenger hunt, fun for the whole family!!

OP I will be on the AC Boards this weekend with the American Cancer Society Bridge to Beach bike ide, would love to come by and give you some business. What is the name and location?

 

[Knightmoves]

Too funny. Posters begging the guy to find out the type of business and he then goes into the cone of silence.

I may boycott it once I learn what it is, ha !

 

[Scarlet16E]

Is it High Times?

 

[brodo]

I hate it when people come on here and try to get people to buy stuff. This post should be deleted--what the heck are the mods doing right now !!!

That's true.

As most, know I have a very low annoyance threshold for RU ###'s.

[vascosg]

Is it a Smoke Shop? I need to replace my marijuana paraphernalia from the 70's.

 

[scarlet night]

It's a shop selling half Rutgers half Penn State flags...

 

[RutgersSam]

It's a shop called Seinfeld.. selling nothing.

A shop.. that sells... nothing.

 

[B0ski]

OP I really wish you nothing but the best. But you need to be a little more aggressive on the boards of AC than you are on these boards if you want to make $$$.

 

[oldman87]

My AC needs service, where are you located?

 

[Rutgers81]

I'm going to the AC Boardwalk tomorrow looking for the Block R. This is gonna be like freakin Where's Waldo?

Also, how do you open up a shore business three weeks AFTER Memorial Day?
