This has been a very sad period in local and American history, as so many long-standing businesses have been closing their doors forever this year.

2022 is going to be known in history as a year of significant changes.

More than 1/3 of all restaurants have closed since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since The Great Depression, America hasn’t seen anything like this.

Most have offered the same reasons: The COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain issues, cost of doing business and difficulty attracting employees to staff operations.

Today, we celebrate Wards Pastry shop for nearly a century of serving the Ocean City and surrounding communities.

Remember, you only have until 2:00 p.m. ruddy to enjoy their famous iced cinnamon buns, scrapple pie and so much more.
