B & B Department Store

To get the low prices the quality is very poor. There is only a 15 day return policy so if the clothing fails after that your stuck with it. If you are looking for souvenirs no deals but lots of stuff with Ocean City on it. Won’t be going back.

Always stop in. Very crowded racks. Prices can be inflated. This last time there were only 3 workers, two very interested in just doing clothes on floor & not at desk. Went to men’s area, line had formed, back to women’s. Clerk not very friendly.

I am a resident of Ocean City and have taken many family and guests to B and B over the years. I was recently appalled that they do not have a public bathroom facility for paying customers!!!
Handicapped people, little children, pregnant mothers and all paying customers should have a facility in the store. I was told to go across the street to another store to use their facility. (Wonder how that store likes paying for OC expensive water if you are not their customer)
Secondly, I paid cash for several items and should have been warned that if I returned an item, I would not get cash back, only store credit. I would have used my credit card if I had known the policy.
I will not shop at B and B and will not recommend it to friends until a «public bathroom» is reinstated. The excuse of Hurricane Sandy causing damage to the original restroom is absurd! All the other establishments on the «avenue» repaired their restrooms and I repaired all the damage to my home and rental properties. (I assume that flood insurance paid for a new one.) If you value my business, a restroom will quickly be furnished for paying customers.

Nice place to pick up some casual dress for the shore. Good value. Mens and women’s wear.

I’m not sure what to think of B&B. My Mom always talked about it so my first time I wasn’t sure what to expect. Department store… mixed with who knows what. We went at the end of the summer (Labor Day weekend) so they had a lot of sales going on which was pretty neat. My arms were loaded with goodies as I made my way into the fitting room (with a HUGE long forming). The clothing was not of any brands I had heard of (except the Sperry brand of shoes) so of course the fit wasn’t great… most of what I brought into try on went right back on the racks. The store is chaotic — they do have trendy styles which made a lot of the younger girls go crazy for which made my shopping experience a little more frustrating. but not bad. I only ended up shopping half of the store as time was running low and we needed to leave. I got a couple finds… used some store credit and left.
I wouldn’t be upset if I didn’t go in here next time we’re in the city, but if you need something quick that you forgot to pack. check it out.

Customer service is HORRIBLE! Do not shop here. I bought a bathing suit top, wore it once, washed it and the black straps completely ran on the white part. I went to return it as it was a defective product. They claimed there was nothing they could do and refused to give my money back or even store credit. I was so annoyed I basically threw $ 50 in the trash. Never shopping here again.

This store is one of those places you somewhat feel compelled to visit when you are in town. There is a huge amount of apparel, but it misses the mark. There’s the proverbial screen-​printed t-​shirts that say «OCNJ» on sale all the way to Vineyard Vines apparel. Two totally different price points catering to two totally different markets.
However, the layout of the store is totally obscene. There are sections of the store in which you can’t navigate because the racks are so close together. Honestly, someone in a wheelchair could not navigate the store.
Sure, there’s something for everyone here in this store. Good luck trying to find it.

I recently had a good review about B&B but after my experience today, I will gladly change my opinion. I was at B&B today and after having looked at all the different sandals, I chose a pair. I was waiting behind a man that was paying when I heard, «i’ll take the next customer, please!» I went around where I was met with some female employee who asked me if I was next in line. I responded by saying «no» and that I was around the side. There were no other customers waiting around, mind you. All the people that were standing near the desk were people that were already into their transactions. This is why this seemed so strange to me. The girl tells me, «sorry you have to go around because i’m here for the next customer.» I put the sandals down and left because clearly there was something else happening that this girl though I was too stupid to understand. I will never go back and will certainly discourage people associated with my rental properties as well as inform others I am associated with in real estate as to what happened to me, and could happen to anyone else. I am thoroughly disgusted at such snobby, reprehensible behavior and I really hope someday somebody makes that disgusting person feel like they made me feel.

B&B is really hit or miss… Sometimes you will find tons of things and other times you will walk out disappointed. It’s very convenient as a relatively affordable clothing store on the island. Pre and post season sales are pretty good (esp. for bathing suits in the fall!)

Store is filled with a bunch of overpriced garbage. Haphazard arrangement, miserable staff.
Don’t bother, unless you are looking for a throw-​away bathing suit or cheap, plastic jewelery.

So B & B clothing store in Ocean City, NJ.
Let me start with my crazy trip so far. I just came down the shore last night with my crazy gay step dad and cool hippie chick, my mom. Both when together «sparks fly» (they were married for over fifteen years). Anyway after a night at the Trump Taj Mahal to see Ringo Starr and his «All-​Starr» band, which was amusing to see so many people young and old. Certainly these guys don’t rock out with their cocks out as they once did, now using supplements like «Viagra» to get the job done.
Either way fun to watch with a few cocktails to chase. Or at least to see whatever happened to the lead singer of «Men at Work» and yes he did sing his famous song «I come from the land down under…». He even said to the crowd «I have no shame» and said he was once asked if he was the singer for «Flocks of Seagulls» and he replied «I wish, they had great cocaine». Anyway…
Today we made our way to this department store before arriving at the beach earlier this afternoon. I must say great deals on some cool clothes. As usual I scored some brown and other earth-​tone attire. My new cargo shorts are pretty nifty. For «down the shore» prices it is «mos def» a bargain. Shop here first before wasting a good couple of Franklin’s on the boardwalk. Especially if you find shirts that say «Dad! I’m blogging here!» or «Silly Queer, we men drink beer!» amusing. When you can get a decent shirt that will make you less «trash» and more «dash».
Well we’re about to leave and I still have a good couple of hours ahead with my wonderful dysfunctional family, but I love them and they inspire me every minute… to write a book about them.
Oh and the ladies that run this place are very sweet and were extremely patient with my rude step-​dad. So I give them props on the «customer service» level.
