Jersey Strong Marlboro was opened in July of 2013 in what was once an Acme grocery store at the corner of Route 79 and Ryan Road. It wasn’t a question of, if Jersey Strong was coming to Marlboro, it was where and when. Stephen Roma Jr. grew up in Marlboro and made it no secret of wanting to open a club there. Plus, with many of the town already split and driving to both Jersey Strong Freehold or Jersey Strong East Brunswick, the Roma family knew a club in Marlboro would be a huge success, and it has been since the day it opened its doors.
