Who's going to pay $60 for a beach chair?
OCEAN CITY, N.J. — The price hikes were traveling up the boardwalk the other day, as visitors tallied the rising cost of pizza, not to mention the small cotton-candy-flavored Polish Water Ice gelato, adding just a little insult to the injury of yet another chilly day in May.
That kind of thinking may spare Shore shop owners from too much inflation outrage by the sea. Last year, their issue was supply chain . Would there be any boogie boards in stock, or would they be stuck in shipping containers? Trash services have skyrocketed, leaving one town, North Wildwood, cutting ties with a private company they felt had tried to strong-arm the city into paying higher rates. Mayor Patrick Rosenello said the company, owned by a hedge fund, said if the city didn’t agree to immediate rate hikes, “Things were going to get ugly. He would leave trash in the streets.”
“We’ve dusted that one off,” said Diane Wieland, director of tourism for Cape May County, at the recent Shorecast event held at Stockton University. “Every dollar they spend is going to impact discretionary spending. They’ll change their budget when they get here. You have to eat, but you don’t have to have three meals a day. You don’t have to go out to expensive dinners.”
