a piece of history
“On April 13, 1913, Howard S. Stainton bought Emma Morris Corson’s dry good store at 808 Asbury Avenue. It was the beginning of what would become the largest department store in Cape May County.” – Shore Local News
Our original Stainton’s location on Asbury Avenue has been a cornerstone of the Ocean City community since 1913, and we are proud to continue that tradition as we evolve.
All of our locations offer a blend of historic charm and modern, eclectic shopping experiences. The wide variety of products in our stores reflects both Ocean City’s timeless beauty and the exciting, ever-changing cultural landscape.
