Public Effort to Keep Dumser's on OC Boardwalk

company website

There is an effort in Ocean City to keep the famed Dumser’s Dairyland ice cream parlor.

It came in a brief town council meeting yesterday when members of the group called Save Dumser’s spoke during the public comment portion of the session.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Vicki Magin who spoke at the meeting has collected more than 10-thousand names on her change.org petition.

She told the council members that there is growing public support to preserve the landmark business on the boardwalk.

The Dumser’s site has been in the middle of a legal dispute regarding the ownership of the property and involves Nathan’s Associates who are heirs to the original occupant and the resort.

The Daily Times reports that the company has six other sites in Ocean City and West Ocean City.
