Roses Store in Ocean City to close

[RFBfromDE]

"OCEAN CITY, Md. – The soon-to-be closure and demolition of the Roses Department Store, a local shopping staple within Ocean City, has sparked a wave of disappointment among locals. The store, known for its wide array of products ranging from food and gardening supplies to dog houses, is considered by many to be an irreplaceable part of the community, having been in Ocean City over 40 years.

The Ocean City Planning Commission is currently reviewing plans to subdivide the 17-acre mall property into four parcels for future redevelopment, with the demolition of Roses being one of the initial steps. This decision has led to an outpouring of support for the store, with locals expressing a strong desire to retain the establishment."

Roses always reminded me of the old Wilmington Dry Goods or K-Mart.

You walk through the door and the smell of cheap flip flops seems to just punch you in the face!

I worked there the summer after my freshman year.
You're right about that smell.

I love the smell of cheap flip flops in the morning

I can still go to the 5&10 on Garfield in Bethany for a cheap flip flop smell fix!

There are only a few others left on the Eastern shore. A couple in Delaware, 1 in Salisbury and 1 way down in Onley, VA. I fondly remember when they sold guns; I still have one purchased from Roses.

I'm guessing Yankee Candle.

They were more like K-Mart than I realized!

Bought my first SKS under $100 at Rose's in Seaford De.

A bit like Woolworth too, if you remember them from back in the day.

Yup.

Nice split hot dogs on the flat top.

Sometimes I get Woolworths and Wilmington Dry Goods mixed up.
