Title
Ocean Grove Flower & Gift Shop, In New Jersey Since 1971
Description
The Ocean Grove Flower & Gift Shop was founded December 11, 1971 on the site of what was once Olin Market. Located at 44 Main Avenue in Ocean Grove, it remains today one of the Shore’s best known and popular flower shops.
When Olin Market closed, the building’s owner approached founders Ted & Ella Trouwborst about opening a florist on the site. Considering that there was a large refrigerator already in place from the former grocery and meat market, it seemed a good idea.
At the time Ted & Ella were local hotel owners and part-time florists. Ted was an active member of the local Chamber of Commerce, having served a term as its president.
