Charles Jenkinson was one of the many entrepreneurs that flocked to the Atlantic shore to seek their fortune by catering to the throngs of tourists that came to enjoy the sea air. In the early 1900’s, Jenkinson opened soda fountains in the shore towns of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove. Both stores occupied leased space and Jenkinson eventually grew tired of the restrictions placed on him by his landlords.
