Cool Cape May 2021-22

[200] shopping
joe canal’s of cape may
Great prices, great selections and a great staff to help you pick the perfect bottles, cans (and treats). It’s all here!
WHERE IS IT? Just before you come over the
bridge into Cape May, next to AtlantiCare Urgent
Care. There’s also a second location in Rio Grande.
WHY SHOULD I GO? First, there’s the pricing. It’s
low. Like, really low. They don’t call it a discount
liquor store for nothing — great sales are the MO.
Then there’s the selection. With more than 12,000
items in stock, browse all your favorite brands plus
new, novelty or limited edition offerings. And if you
need snacks or quality treats to go along with your
purchase, they’ve got you covered there, too.
Finally, there’s the staff. Owned by brothers
Bill and Tom Feraco and sisters Ann Wilson and
Cathy Sawyer, this is a family spot where customer
service is paramount. The employees make a point
of knowing their product inside and out, so they can
guide you, whether you need help finding a specific
bottle or you’re not sure what it is you’re looking for.
“We’re always learning,” says manager Tina
Ormrod. “And we love sharing that knowledge with
our customers.”
The staff realize you’re here for a seaside
vacation, and stocking your fridge or cooler is a
prerequisite for a relaxing time with friends and
family. The bottom line? Buying booze should be as
pleasant an experience as drinking it.
