Summer is approaching, and with it comes a flurry of new businesses and closures on the Eastern Shore. One exciting addition is Ghoulish Things, a gift shop extension of Trimper’s Haunted House. Located at 720 S Atlantic Ave. on Ocean City’s historic Boardwalk, the shop offers unique merchandise and exhibits artifacts from Bill Tracy, the dark ride industrialist behind the iconic attraction.
Trimper’s Haunted House has been a staple on the Boardwalk for generations, with its roots tracing back to 1964 when it was built by Granville Trimper and designed by Bill Tracy. The building underwent a two-story expansion in 1988, and has been thrilling visitors ever since. But then, Ocean City’s long-standing business, Roses Discount Store, has closed its doors permanently.
Located at 200 94th St., the store had been serving the community for nearly 45 years… offering an array of discounted items. The recent closure is part of a larger plan to redevelop the Ocean Plaza Mall, which will see the demolition of Roses and the construction of a new ACME Supermarket. In more positive news, Ocean City is welcoming a new addition to its cocktail scene: Ocean City’s Coconut Club.
This craft cocktail bar and coastal escape promises to be a new hotspot on the Boardwalk. In Salisbury, a new face has joined the local business scene: Teera Thai Cuisine. This authentic Thai restaurant offers a range of dishes, “from dumplings to curries.”.. and is a welcome addition to the city’s culinary landscape.
