Construction has started in Pennsville NJ on the site preparation for a brand-new Super Wawa convenience store with gas operations
This new project is located on South Broadway (Rt 49) at the front of the Cranberry Plaza where Save-A-Lot Grocery is also located
The convenience store will be 5,915 square feet
which makes it one of the larger models of the traditional Super Wawa configuration
The adjacent gas operations will feature 12 fueling positions with six dispensers
and of course the overhead protective canopy
The project is set to include 56 parking spots when only 48 are required by town zoning. Two of those parking spots will offer electric vehicle parking stations
As part of that March approval it was also agreed that this front portion of land for the new Wawa would be split out into its own tax lot/property, which will be owned by the developers of the Wawa
The plans for the new Wawa were approved by Pennsville in March of this year, and 42Freeway first wrote about it in April
Compared to other South Jersey approved Wawa projects
seeing construction crews on the Pennsville site just 8 months after town approval is a very quick turnaround
Likely a big reason for the quick startup of this Wawa is that it will not have direct road access
which means the project likely did not require extensive approval review from Salem County or NJDOT (if at all)
If you’re unfamiliar with that process
when new developments require direct access to roads operated by the County or State
those government entities get to review the plans… looking for potential impacts to the traffic flow and patterns along the roadway
In situations where a proposed project needs roadway improvements (wider shoulders
new traffic signals)… it is the developer’s responsibility to pay for those upgrades
and most times this can turn into lengthy design and negotiation steps between the Government body and the developer
while Wawa does prefer its stores to have direct road access (particularly at a busy corner intersection)
this new Pennsville store is being developed at the front of the existing shopping center’s parking lot and customers will only have access to this Wawa from within the shopping center’s parking lot
Even though this Wawa is being developed along the road frontage
customers driving on South Broadway/49 will have to enter Cranberry Plaza at the center’s main center entrance (which is a traffic light intersection)… and then when in the center’s parking lot
This is a similar pattern to what was implemented for a newer AutoZone store which was built on the opposite side of the shopping center’s entrance
Locals will note that there is an existing legacy Wawa open less than 1000 feet away from this new Super Wawa project
While I don’t see the fate of that older Wawa noted in planning documents I think it’s safe to say that this new Cranberry Plaza located Wawa will replace the older legacy Wawa store… and the smaller location at Broadway and Carroll Ave
Clearly Wawa is looking to significantly reduce the number of smaller/older stores in their portfolio by either upsizing with an nearby all-new Super Wawa… or in some cases simply closing the store
As an example, a legacy Wawa in Cherry Hill closed this month after plans to develop a new Super Wawa on the other side of Route 70 (across from the older store) were cancelled based on community concerns
Likely local residents expected the smaller Wawa to remain open… but Wawa felt the smaller store was not sustainable
At this time there are no details on when this new Pennsville Wawa will open

On a nice sunny day yesterday I drove through Salem County to catch up on 4 projects that are under development; McDonald’s Penns Grove
Wawa Pennsville and Tractor Supply Pennsville
A common aspect for all four of these projects… they all will likely be opening in 2025
This article is more of a photo update showing where the construction efforts are
and not really a deep dive on any one project
For example I know someone will ask “When does Tractor Supply Pennsville Open?!” Simply
But info I did pickup, I share here… such as I caught-up with Suzanne of Bullhide Brewery yesterday at her Cowboy Outfitters Western Store
and she tells me they’re hoping for an early summer opening of the new brewery
So in order of what I feel is the timeline of them being open here are the four projects
A brand new McDonald’s is being developed at the corner of Virginia Ave (Route 130) and Main Street in Penns Grove. (42Freeway)
This is part of a larger redevelopment of the property which previously was home to Incollingo’s Market Penns Grove
A Super Wawa previously opened at the corner
as well as a small 6,000 square foot multi-unit retail building
In my visit yesterday the McDonald’s building exterior looked completed with signage in place
and in fact landscapers were on site placing mulch and plants
Indications they are getting close to the end of development
A peek in the window showed that interior aspects were already mostly developed including seating… although I didn’t take a long focus looked considering there was considerable activity going on around me
They are actively hiring for the Penns Grove McDonald’s location
and state that training will take place at Mullica Hill and Woodstown locations
The job listings state an opening of March 2025
it’s clear that this McDonald’s will likely open very soon
Bullhide Brewery is an all-new construction brewery rising across the street from the Cowtown Rodeo. (42Freeway Oct Update)
The brewery is being developed by locals Suzanne and Travis who own the Cowtown Cowboy Outfitters retail store (unaffiliated with the Rodeo)
It’s an ambitious and smart plan that the couple has come up with
developing the new brewery and other retail components as an extension of the existing western retail store
From the outside the vision of the long integrated complex of store
When I stopped in last October the timber framing had just been completed on the addition
but the original retail store segment was still its older rustic self
Four months later in my April visit yesterday the full exterior of extended building is completed! Exterior walls are in place
the roof is in place and even the retail store is showcasing its new style
For the original Cowtown Outfitters retail component
larger windows and a new front door have also been installed and additional interior work will take place as well as an opening to connect the store with the rest of the building
Suzanne tells me they have hired their Brewer for Bullhide Brewery
and they expect to open sometime early summer
Their social channels even shared images of the core brewery equipment inside the building
A new Super Wawa is being developed in Pennsville in the front parking area of the Cranberry Plaza on South Broadway
I first wrote about this project back in April of 2024 when they were granted permission to develop the Wawa
This will likely be a relocation of the existing smaller legacy Wawa a block away. This is a common pattern for the Pennsylvania-based convenience store where they are looking to replace
older smaller stores with the larger Super Wawa buildings which include gas station pumps
In my visit yesterday I could see that the concrete building foundation is in place and utilities are being added
Also the underground gas tanks appear to be installed
While there is no building standing at this point
we’re getting to the point where the locals are going to be amazed at how fast the building development takes place once this foundation phase is completed
Literally you’ll be driving by one day soon and “Bam”… the steel frame of the Super Wawa will be standing
and you’re going to swear to yourself that you drove by just two days ago and nothing was there
I have no updates on the opening of this location but I would guess an opening very late Summer or early Fall
Site preparation work is taking place for a new Tractor Supply location being developed in Pennsville pm South Broadway (Rt 49) at Chestnut Lane… about 1,000 feet South of the Walmart shopping center
42Freeway first wrote about these plans back in January of 2024 as the Tractor Supply project was moving through planning board process
Tractor Supply is a large retail chain of stores which sells products for home improvement
horse and pet care. Their customer base typically targets recreational farmers and ranchers
In my visit yesterday to the Pennsville location I could see from the drone shots that the site prep work is underway for the Tractor Supply
particularly with dirt layered on the property where the building and parking lot will be developed
I have no real indications of when this Tractor Supply location will open

Big Belly Deli and Bagel Express is open in Pennsville NJ
featuring delicious bagels and deli sandwiches… but the menu is much more extensive offering breakfast sandwiches and platters
Your experience in looking at the menu for the first time is summed up nicely by a recent commentor on Facebook “Didn’t realize there was going to be such a large menu selection.”
Big Belly Deli takes over a building which was previously Hinkle’s News Shop, located directly next to the Bluebird Diner
they’ve undergone a full remodel of the space… which makes the new local eatery feel like it’s a brand new build
Inside the space “feels” bigger then it looks from the outside
with plenty of room for customers to place or wait for orders
coffee bar area and refrigerated cases for cold drinks
It’s an attractive and welcoming design to the store inside and out
bright lighting and eye-catching design elements and menu boards
I stopped in over the weekend on my way to visit the popular The Shipyard and Engine House
and spoke briefly with the Big Belly Deli owner Rudy who is excited to be a part of the Pennsville community
I didn’t realize until I got home and did additional research though that it seems there are at least two other related Big Belly Deli locations, one in Somerdale and another in Mount Holly
At this time though with the Pennsville location just opening there is no online presence yet available for the Salem County location such as a website for online ordering
But it’s clear Pennsville is excited for the new Big Belly Deli
Two weeks ago Facebook page Discover Pennsville shared news of the opening of Big Belly Deli, which got a huge response from locals. (Post)
Over the next few days there were numerous very positive comments from people who where excited to have a bagel shop at the location
or had already tried Big Belly Deli and had positive things to say about their experience
From Discover Pennsville’s Post:
For my first visit to Big Belly Deli I already had dinner plans locked in for elsewhere in Pennsville
but I will be back soon and will definitely stop back for lunch
Well considering they are open from 5am to 10pm seven days a week.
As a quick side note, I don’t know who runs the Discover Pennsville Facebook page but it’s absolutely one of the best town Facebook Pages in New Jersey
filled with interesting information on the town
support for local businesses… just good

The Pennsville football team celebrates its victory over Penns Grove.For NJ Advance Media
.st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By Matt Cosentino | For NJ Advance MediaRobbie McDade desperately wanted to the be the first person to get his hands on the Norm Willey Boot
despite serious competition from several of his teammates
nobody was more deserving of lifting the trophy first
The junior quarterback directed three long touchdown drives
capping off one by running for a score and throwing a TD pass on another
as the Eagles defeated rival Penns Grove 19-12 in West Jersey Football League inter-division action
Pennsville snapped a seven-game losing streak in the series
which started in 1958 and was played on Thanksgiving for many years
and earned its first win over the Red Devils since 2016
The Eagles evened their record at 3-3 and dropped Penns Grove to 1-5
The celebration started as soon as they got through the postgame handshake line
and McDade sprinted over to receive “The Boot,” the trophy awarded each year to the winner of the rivalry game
“I just felt like I had to be the first one,” he said
“It means a lot for our team and the town of Pennsville
We haven’t had it for so long and it feels really good.”
McDade’s 1-yard touchdown run helped stake Pennsville to a 13-6 lead at halftime
and with the home team clinging to a one-point lead early in the fourth quarter
he connected with senior wide receiver Luke Wood for an 18-yard touchdown on fourth down-and-17
Penns Grove had a chance to tie it on its ensuing possession
but the drive stalled at the 10-yard line when a fourth-down pass fell incomplete with 3:47 remaining
Pennsville then got two crucial first downs to run out the clock and finish off their homecoming game with an emotional victory
“There’s really no better feeling,” said Wood
a former Pennsville head coach and the current offensive coordinator
“If there was one game we had circled this year that we were going to play our hearts out to win
I don’t know exactly how long it’s been since we won this game
It feels good to finally get it back for him.”
got to experience his first win in the rivalry and was all smiles even after his players dumped a water bucket on him
“It was awesome to finally do it,” he said
“This game means so much to our kids and our town
We had our pep rally and everybody was excited
are we going to get it?’ It feels so good to finally get it
but this was the first time I got to hold it up and I couldn’t be happier about it.”
Pennsville showed tremendous resolve all night
converting a fourth down on each of its touchdown drives
including its opening possession of the night
which Malik Rehmer finished with an 8-yard TD run on an end around
The final scoring drive was the most impressive
McDade and Wood connected for 48 yards on third-and-21; McDade eluded the pass rush on third-and-19 and found Rylan Hardy for a screen pass that went for 24 yards; and finally came the touchdown to Wood
in which McDade threw a perfect spiral and his receiver ran under it in the corner of the end zone
“That’s what we’ve been looking for on offense,” Healy said
they just have to constantly believe they can do it
Wood had dropped a pass in the end zone on a similar play earlier in the game
he’s going to keep his head up and try to make another play for us
McDade ran for 53 yards on 14 carries and completed 9-of-14 passes for 146 yards
with Wood hauling in four of the catches for 81 yards
“I tell Rob all the time that I think he’s the best quarterback in South Jersey,” Wood said
“He ran put his head down and run through the defensive line or he can air it out for 45 yards
Just being able to feel confident in my quarterback and knowing that he has confidence in me too
it’s a great feeling and it makes the game so much easier.”
a baseball and basketball star at Pennsville
is playing high school football for the first time as a senior
‘Come play some football.’ I went out one day and I was kicking field goals
“As soon as he said he was coming out for football
Pennsville’s defense also came up clutch on Friday
with Connor Ayars making several big plays up front and Rehmer picking off a pass in the end zone
The Eagles buckled down in the red zone twice
including a wacky ending to the first half in which the Red Devils had a potential touchdown whistled dead inexplicably despite no penalty being called
it lost a crucial down on a dead-ball delay of game foul
and Remello Erickson’s pass to Ka’Ron Ceaser on fourth-and-5 from the 10 was just out of his reach
The quarterback put it where I could get it
rushing for 109 yards and a 39-yard touchdown on 12 carries and adding two catches for 26 yards
Pennsville was smart to key on him on the fourth-down play
“We got two fourth-down stops in the red zone today
not getting off the field on fourth down on defense
but we were able to fix a lot of the issues we’ve had all year
We had a pretty good idea of what they were trying to do there
so we adjusted our defense and had a guy right over top on him
Penns Grove has been competitive against a challenging schedule under new head coach Mark Maccarone
but the Red Devils are struggling to finish games
“We started off the season kind of shaky,” Ceaser said
We’re getting used to the coaches and the new system
Today was a hard-fought battle and we came up short
We started off slow in the first half and we came back in the second half
but you have to start strong early against a good team like that.”
ending its drought in the series should only do wonders for its confidence moving forward
“We knew this was the most important game of the season so far and we had to step up in big-time moments,” McDade said
We’re just going to keep building on every game
“I think this proves to ourselves that we are good enough to win games consistently,” Wood added
and we just have a bunch of guys who are going to go out
put their head down and not give you anything.”

New Jersey 5.7 MW solar project acquired by Standard Solar and Trinasolar will power homes and municipal facilities
a commercial and community solar developer and asset owner
recently acquired a 5.7 MW solar project on a landfill in Pennsville
in partnership with Trinasolar Development Solutions LLC
Trinasolar International System Business Unit’s (ISBU) American entity
Last year New Jersey Governor Murphy signed a community solar bill that increased its overall size and access to low- to moderate income subscribers
and this project qualifies under that program
with full completion and operation anticipated by late 2025
The solar plant will sit atop the Pennsville Landfill
which was previously the Deepwater Generating Station
The solar array is sited within a Department of Energy-designated energy community
which are considered community that are expected to face challenges in the transition away from fossil fuels
Projects in these communities can qualify for the production and investment tax credit bonuses available within the Inflation Reduction Act
“Energy communities have historically borne a disproportionate burden of pollution over the past century,” John Finnerty
Director of Business Development for Standard Solar
“This includes exposure to toxic coal ash and contamination of groundwater resources
Solar facilities on landfills present a unique opportunity to revitalize these areas
repurposing previously unusable land into clean energy hubs.”
Subscribers to the Pennsville project are expected to be local municipal facilities as well as area residents
The project will create local jobs during construction and generate significant long-term tax revenue for the local community

A Tractor Supply retail store is proposed for Pennsville NJ on South Broadway (Rt 49) at Chestnut Lane about 1,000 feet South of the Walmart shopping center
The proposed Tractor Supply would be developed on that corner
with the existing Add-Vantage Self Storage located immediately next to it
The Tractor Supply development will take place on two lots and the development will be fronted along S
That being said one of the lots does extend down Chestnut Lane to the next corner
but most of the rear of the lot will remain undeveloped with this project
For the proposed Pennsville Store the town’s Planning Board will hold a public hearing on the application on January 22nd at 7:00 PM
This all new construction building will consist of a 21,930 square foot Tractor Supply retail store building
an outdoor fenced in area off to the side (garden center and larger bulk items)
This building would be about 3,000 square feet larger than a recently opened location in West Berlin
NJ. Both stores have a similar building width
but the proposed Pennsville store will be about 20 feet deeper
The Pennsville property will be developed so that the building entrance faces the Route 49 roadway
with the parking lot positioned in front of the building
The main driveway entrance will be on Route 49 closer to the adjacent storage facility business. A secondary entrance will be on Chestnut Lane
in line with the driveway across the street for the Ashcraft Funeral Home
The outdoor garden center and extended fenced in area will be on the Chestnut Lane side of the property
It appears that the truck delivery entrance would be on the opposite side of the building closer to the storage unit business. A wedge of open space will remain between Tractor Supply and the storage facility
as Tractor Supply is positioned perpendicular to Route 49
whereas the storage building was developed on an angle
Tractor Supply is looking for a preliminary and final site plan approval for the project
which will require approvals of several variance requests
Variance requests include signage (which is almost always listed in any hearing)
traffic circulation within the parking area
deceleration lane for the property entrance and the number of parking spaces provided
Tractor Supply is an American retailer offering a product mixed targeted at recreational farmers
In South Jersey they have 10 locations currently open.
One thing I find admirable about the company is they are able to find success in more rural areas where it seems other large corporations are less likely to invest in
Absolutely with a product mix targeting a rural lifestyle
they would want to be close to the customer base with larger properties and livestock
but consider that all Tractor Supply stores are new construction projects costing several million dollars… well I appreciate that they’ve been able to find success in more rural areas
While the company’s products target a more simpler lifestyle focused on optimizing a homeowner’s outdoor experiences, as well as pet-care
their successes in that marketplace have led them to becoming a very significant US Corporation
Tractor Supply now has 2,200 stores in 49 States
and are ranked 291 on the Fortune 500 list of the largest US Corporations (based on revenue)
Each store carries between 15,000 to 20,000 products
They also try to adjust the product mix to support any unique aspects of the store’s region… which could be 15% of the inventory
Their 2020 SEC 10K form indicates that livestock and pet supplies account for 47% of their sales followed by hardware
tools and truck supplies at 21% and then seasonal
Tractor supply has over a dozen of their own exclusive brands across all of the product categories
Tractor Supply opens about 70 new stores a year, and things are going well for them as in a recent earnings call the stated they are increasing the number of store openings each year with a target of having 3,000 locations. (Retail TouchPoints)

A new “Super” Wawa convenience store with gas was approved for Pennsville’s Cranberry Plaza
to be located at the front left side of the shopping center’s parking lot along South Broadway
The proposal was approved at the March 25th Pennsville Planning and Zoning Board meeting. While i was unable to attend
I did verify the approval with Pennsville Township
The plans called for a 5,915 square foot Wawa retail food market and gas fueling operations
consisting of 6 dispensers with 12 fueling positions
to better describe the shopping center it has a main building along the rear of the property
which on the right side is home to Save-A-Lot
An all new Autozone was developed at the front right-side of the parking lot
The Wawa will be developed at the front of the shopping center on the left side. This pad property has been marketed as available for several years
A classic Wawa is located less than 1000 feet away at the Carroll Ave
intersection. While not specifically called out in the planning notice
I have no problem writing that we should expect that older classic Wawa store to close when the new super Wawa opens… an undetermined timeframe
For the newly approved Wawa, a site plan dated September 2022 is available online at the Paramount Realty website
although this may not be the final approved plan
That depiction shows the Wawa will not have direct access to South Broadway
and customers will have to drive in through the main entrance of the shopping center (traffic light)
and turn left a short distance in the parking lot to then access Wawa
The shopping center also has access from Dunn Lane on the north side the parking lot
It is expected that the Wawa store will face South Broadway and the gas station pumps would be developed to the side of the store
with the gas pumps closest to the main entrance driveway and the retail store to the far left
The shopping center was sold in 2019 to unnamed investors
The prior owners had been advertising plans for a full shopping center remodel. While that status is unknown you would think that with AutoZone and Wawa now as tenants the main shopping center building will attract more interest from retailers… and hopefully a remodel is planned
A commercial real estate listing at MSC shows that they are actively looking for tenants for the remaining shopping center spaces
particularly the larger left side portion of the center
A Courier-Post classified ad in 1980 called the shopping center “the new Ames Plaza” which at the time was home to an Ames department store
An article in NJ Biz from 2005 shows that Ames closed all of their New Jersey stores including Pennsville at that time
In the interim the Ames space was used as a flea market and other uses

Deptford Raising Cane’s Grand Opening Tuesday April 30th
A developer has broken ground on a project that will bring more than 1.7 million square feet of new industrial space to Salem County
is working on behalf of CT Realty to construct the speculative
two-building development known as the Garden State Logistics Park
The project is repurposing 282 acres at the former site of a well-known power plant
bringing high-end warehouse and distribution space to a growing submarket in southwest New Jersey
which will span 1,200,507 and 512,242 square feet
are both slated for completion in October 2023 and will occupy a parcel about a half-mile south of Interstate 295 and the approach to the Delaware Memorial Bridge
The North Broadway site is also 10 miles south of Wilmington
“CT Realty is very excited about the two buildings at Garden State Logistics Park in Pennsville
who oversees all of CT’s developments in the eastern U.S
“The overall market dynamics are extremely healthy with record low vacancy and meaningful tenant demand
We believe these Class A distribution facilities will be well received by the marketplace upon completion of construction.”
the larger building will have 222 dock positions
Both will be constructed using precast concrete and will have 40-foot clear ceiling heights
with curtainwall entries and clerestory windows for natural lighting
the Garden State Logistics complex will also include exterior parking for 1,797 automobiles and 811 trailers
Additional plans call for a fire pump house with a fire loop as part of the project
Premier’s team includes Mitch Braam as senior project manager
Paul Laino as senior project superintendent
George Deangelis as superintendent and Joseph Ahrens
its senior vice president and market leader

Yesterday I got a full progress tour of the upcoming The Shipyard Bar & Restaurant opening soon on the Delaware River waterfront in Pennsville
The large property is along the Delaware River waterfront and will bring a fun
amazing outdoor spaces along the water… they will even be inviting food trucks in
They also have a large space for private events including weddings
The original segments are no longer there
and the open air 3-season bar and new outdoor spaces are the centerpieces of the property
Owners Brad and Jeff walked me through the project
They also gave me a lot more details on their plans for the new waterfront spot
and of course I am sharing with the readers
They were both very appreciative of my recent coverage at 42Freeway where I let the public in on the news of the upcoming new hot spot
I did get one thing wrong though… while they plan on featuring food trucks at the property
they will also have an interior kitchen at The Shipyard Bar & Restaurant
As mentioned, 42Freeway first reported on the Shipyard a month ago
The Shipyard is part of a family of locally owned restaurants which also includes The Telford Inn and Carolina Blue
The Pennsville NJ location is the former JG Cook’s Riverview Inn
Today the 2 older segments are no longer there
but the remaining 3-season bar and restaurant section remains and is the hub of the new Shipyard
The full property is being transformed into an indoor and outdoor fun restaurant
bar and event space… and the goal is to maximize the amazing views of the Delaware River and Bridge
The inside of The Shipyard is mostly ready to roll construction wise
but there are finishing details to be completed
as well as cleanup work… so I told them I would skip interior photos for now
The outside is getting an extensive makeover also
As Jeff said “You can’t recreate this Delaware River waterfront view”
So they are adding a lot of really fun and interesting upgrades to the property
The Shipyard will be a waterfront festival atmosphere every day of the season
Consider this to be a 3-season waterfront festival themed restaurant and bar
which will close during the colder winter months
They fully hope to be open for some portion of this fall 2022, but with cooler weather coming in and construction items still taking place… well be sure to keep up with updates at their Facebook Page
The full former Riverview Inn complex was massive
It was like three restaurant buildings in one
So it can throw off perspective of how large the remaining 3-season bar section is
That entire 100 foot span has glass garage doors in front which can be opened up to make the indoor bar
The ownership is completely changing up the interior building
It’s a smart design change that still leaves a LOT of space for indoor seating
And remember they they are also significantly expanding the outdoor offerings
there is plenty of room for people to have a great time at The Shipyard
Previously the bar was rectangular in the center of the room
while the bar is still in the middle of the space it is configured for one side
A traditional “U-shaped coming off the back wall” configuration
where that backwall will feature a selection of liquor bottles and other bar items
In the back corners of the large space (behind the bar area) are the kitchen in one corner
There will still be plenty of room across the full 100 foot long building for dining tables
One side leads to an area which will be home to an acoustic musician space and cornhole area
The other side entrance will lead to a interesting outdoor area which will even have space for private events
Last month I saw the outside of the property via my drone
and at the time they were very actively involved in exterior construction and landscaping
I expected new sod grass to be put down along the waterfront
but I was happily surprised to see this week so many inventive upgrades also being added outside
Once the landscaping and construction is completed the waterfront areas will have Adirondack chairs
So yes they did get new sod down in the last month
but the Cook’s are doing so much more
compacted gravel areas and attractive flowered landscaping
The also will have an astro-turf covered area which makes for a better surface to support outdoor private events where larger numbers of people would congregate in a common area
Still to come are buffer trees along that event space area
Gas firepits are being installed in various locations
On the side of the building where the other portions of the Riverview Inn once stood
they are making another interesting outdoor space with a variety of unique design elements
An outdoor container ship outdoor bar stand is being readied for installation
It will have a second container positioned on top of it.
and they will also have an ice cream stand outside
Regarding the food trucks… the idea for including them in to the mix
is to give customers unique food experiences like you would find at beer gardens or festivals in the area
They Cook’s really want this to be a family friendly place to visit… again and again
Brad tells me that to further carry the “shipyard” theme they will be installing a large continue box up overtime of the building’s side entrance
As mentioned, for the latest on when they open things up to the public this fall, be sure to “Like” their Facebook page
And I believe there is still time to get into the Achy Breaky 5k which is October 9th
One last fun fact that I will have in a future post (I started writing this here but the article was just getting too long!)
The portion of land jutting out next to the Shipyard building was the New Jersey side of the New Castle Pennsville Ferry Line
This was a VERY busy ferry prior to the opening of the Delaware Memorial Bridge
The remnants of the two paved roads have been mostly untouched for decades
The road splits because there were TWO competing ferry lines and as you drove up with your car there were two grand overhead gate entrances leading to the ferries
Crazy fun fact… the final 175 of this peninsula is actually in Delaware

Downtown Blackwood Redevelopment Proposed; Market
Burlington Stores for Turnersville And West Berlin Look for November Opening
The Engine House Golf & Social Lounge is an all new beautiful and fun gastropub opening in Pennsville NJ this Thursday
with the awesome unique twist of having four premium golf simulators inside the 2 story open atrium style lounge
Actually there are several surprises in store with this custom designed “public safety centric” bar and restaurant
42Freeway first brought this story to readers back in April… and today I stopped in and caught up with one of the co-owners Johnny
who was in the building with his wife and other team members getting the the final touches ready for Thursday’s public opening
are two Salem County area firefighters who were looking to bring something new and exciting to the Pennsville area… and they’ve really hit a hole-in-one with this concept and design
The bio for Fred and Johnny includes leading teams in local fire departments like Salem City
employment in the fire prevention and security teams at PSEG Nuclear plant in Salem… and also considerable time as DJ’s and bar staff in a variety of South Jersey bars and restaurants
friends and good times… it’s led them to creating and operating the perfectly named golf lounge… The Engine House Golf & Social Lounge
The Engine House is located at the corner of North Hook Road and Beaver Ave
just 2 miles south of the NJ Turnpike and Route 295 exits
The property was previously home to several local restaurant/bars (a notable name was Sidelines) but the prior building had been abandoned for quite some time before Fred and Johnny took over the property
The Engine House really makes an improvement to the corner and extended area
and temporary operating hours are Thurs-Sun
They will have the full service bar open, the kitchen will be serving from an initial menu featuring flatbreads and sandwiches, and if you want to golf, reservations should be made online at The Engine House Website
things took a little longer to get built out.
and Fred and John are eager to get the doors open for their eager customers
So as they wait for some additional equipment to arrive
the draft system will likely not be operational for a few weeks (bottled and can beers are available now!)
and they will be expanding further the kitchen menu over time
restaurant and golf simulator concept in mind
the team realized they weren’t going to find an existing building to meet their needs
They decided to take on the expense of designing an all-new space which would perfectly suit their plans for an interactive and social bar/restaurant experience… while also balancing some private spaces for friends and family to have fun with the golf simulators
The all-new building is a tall two-story construction which sits angled in the front corner of the lot
With the parking lot developed in the back of the building
the partners made a smart decision to put the main entrance in the back also
When you enter in through those main doors you’ll instantly be surprised by the massive open space inside the Engine House
from the outside you’re likely going to assume that this is a traditional two-story building… but as soon as you walk in you see that the core of this building is open from floor to the ceiling… more than two stories up
The main open space of the room is the focal point area where the long bar is located
as well as a variety of restaurant tables are set up (both hi-top and traditional)
With the bar on the left side positioned against the back wall, on the opposite side of the large open room is a mezzanine balcony which is fully open to the expansive bar and restaurant space
The mezzanine area top and bottom provides 2 levels to support the golf simulators
as well as additional lounge and seating areas
I don’t know if it’s just the expansiveness of the open bar and dining area
or how the second floor mezzanine allows guests to look down across the main first floor… But the Engine House actually feels much larger inside then when you look at it from the outside
With the bar positioned against the tall wall on the left and dining tables in front of it
the two floors on the right hand side are mostly allocated to the premium Full Swing brand golf simulators and associated lounge areas
Full Swing Pro models are the only golf simulator that measures your ball at impact with an overhead Ion 3 camera
and then in flight using a combination of infrared technology and high-speed blue light LED cameras
to capture and show your golf ball’s real flight on the screen… all with no delay
Each of the two floors have two premium simulator bays
and an associated comfortable seating area
Three of the bays are positioned in a more traditional “facing in” manner
but on the lower-level the rightmost bay is turned at a 90 degree angle
which allowed the designers to offer an extended amount of seating space for that golf bay… as well as make it a little bit more private. Perfect for a larger party
along with those two simulator bays there’s still plenty of space for dedicated lounge seating within each of the two bays
as well as several hi-top tables along the front railing which directly overlook the bar below
Also at the far end is another somewhat private alcove area with a larger high-top table
The lounge seating which is located thorough the restaurant has that “old-world
an open space that’s more than two stories tall also comes with it an equally tall wall behind the bar… buy yet smart design choices fill the entire room and walls with a lot of design character
I already mentioned the old world style lounge seating
And the tables appear to be handcrafted for the restaurant
The long bar which probably seats two dozen customers
also has a beautiful wood grain finish to the top and corrugated steel front facade
And the back bar area features a signature focal piece in the room
with a brick backdrop wall feature where a large variety of bottle spirits are on display
This bar backdrop definitely has an old school fire department feeling to it
and to that end at the top is large red signage “Engine House Golf & Social Lounge”
During my visit today they were not open for business
so I don’t have any food or drink photos to share… but I’ll be back very soon after they open to give the Engine House a true test

The Shipyard beer garden and event space is coming to Pennsville NJ on the Delaware River at the former site of the Riverview Inn
If you previously visited the Riverview Inn when it was open
remember that large open air capable bar building at the end which extended to a beautiful front lawn to the river
That seems to be what the new Shipyard will be all about
The news was shared first at their Facebook page
where they converted the former Riverview Deck/Inn page into The Shipyard page
This is exciting on several levels as for decades the Riverview Inn was a very popular and large facility for dining
“adult beveraging” and weddings… but it’s been a rough few years for the Riverview after closing
and then an auction of the restaurant contents
seeing a new establishment getting ready to open up so soon after all the recent news and demolition truly will be happy news
We’ve reached out to the Shipyard Facebook page admins for additional details but have not received a reply yet
I’m sure we’ll be chatting soon
A new website is also in the works for The Shipyard
which also includes the popular Telford Inn and Carolina Blue restaurants in Mantua NJ
The Shipyard is located at 60 Main Street in Pennsville right on the Delaware River
The location is next to the Riverview Beach Park which into the 60s was a popular amusement park
Today the rides and roller coaster are long gone
and it is an open park for recreation and town events
The Shipyard is a smaller building on a large property adjacent to the park
with a large amount of frontage on the river
The building is rectangular shaped with the long side facing the river
They front of the building is large glass garage doors which in nice weather can be opened
exposing the entire building to the outside
It gives a lot of flexibility to function as both an outdoor and indoor space
So if you’ve visited the Riverview Inn before you’re starting to think…”Wait a minute
wasn’t a portion of the Riverview Inn set up like that?”
So I briefly mentioned there was a fire at the Riverview Inn and subsequently most of the building was demolished
The former restaurant was three segments making a long complex running along the river
From what I remember from my visits; the very old dark wood restaurant was first
Then a newer but still older segment was second
and then the third section was a somewhat newer “large bar with garage door sections”
So absolutely those first two older sections of the former restaurant are gone today… but that third open air bar building… well it survived
that they are able to use that portion today as the “bones” of the Shipyard
To be honest I did not see the property after the demo work was completed so maybe what stands today is all new construction.
but it does seems to be an exact match to what was there as the Riverview Deck open air bar building
So knowing about those roots of the new bar and event space helps explain what (and why) the owners have planned for The Shipyard
The bullets they offer describe the new venue as;
From my own visits to the Riverview Inn Deck portion I remember it was home to a very large bar with additional tables in the front of the building
While I am not sure if they are keeping the large bar for The Shipyard
it seems it will not have a kitchen within the building
Hence the “Food Trucks” aspect of the plans
The Shipyard will have the full liquor license
and can offer food with a variety of food trucks
Maybe with that flexibility the dining experience will change regularly
And the rest of those cool features they call out; “beer garden
Well it seems to fit what was taking place previously as the Riverview Inn Deck
I visited the Riverview twice when it was open (both times in the summer)
and while I walked through the older parts of the building my visits were focused on the that open air bar
The bar and seating were very popular… but the experiences carried on to the front grass and river
Along the river was beautiful grass and positioned throughout were tables and Adirondack chairs
You could relax along the river with the bar 20 feet behind you
and an acoustic musician performing for everyone
It was an amazing setup that everyone seemed to love
For me it was the best part of the property
In my recent visit the front river area was all dirt but I imagine that was just prepped for all new grass sod to be placed ahead of the opening
We don’t know what the inside of the building looks like
or go smaller so the space is more flexible for events
What will the lawn area and firepits be designed
Well the only clue I found to that is the “Achy Breaky 5k” is booked for the Shipyard on October 9th! Basically just one month away! (Facebook event, Website Registration)
The 5k includes a post race Country Western themed party at The Shipyard
Now that doesn’t mean final construction and approvals won’t take longer
but it definitely has to be a real goal to have The Shipyard open in advance of the 5k event
I want to focus on the new and exciting things of the Shipyard
but feel I have to call out some additional aspects of the Riverview Inn as many may ask
As we all know the Covid Pandemic and business shutdowns were very impactful to New Jersey businesses
The Riverview Inn closed and despite some early promises of reopening… it did not reopen
Then in September 2020 a two-alarm fire took place in a portion of the building. While we could not locate interior photos, SJFirenews.com has images of the trucks and crews outside
2 alarms can’t mean good things for the interior
Then things really started to look bleak for the property when an auction was held for the contents of the building just 10 months ago November 2021
While this typically is associated with a business failing and debt being reclaimed
maybe the owners realized they were going to move forward with a smaller operation and no longer needed all of of the equipment from the much larger Riverview
In this case the new Shipyard appears to still be owned by the JG Cooks restaurant group
Which again brings us to the exciting news of The Shipyard opening
We’ll post more as we get additional information (opening and hopefully a preview tour)
