The story begins with the patriarch of the family, Marvin
Hume, who is 83 and still intimately involved with the business
-- starting a similar type of business on the Atlantic City
Boardwalk in 1957. This was before casino gambling became
Atlantic City's main attraction. Over the next several years,
Marvin became good friends with Preston Shadbolt who owned
the property at Sunset Beach. Upon retiring, Preston gave
Marvin first choice to purchase the property. Marvin being
a consummate business man recognized what the future could
bring. So in September 1973, Marvin and his wife purchased
the property.
In the years to come, Marvin's son Larry and wife Michele
joined the business, with Larry taking the reins of the operation
while working closely with his dad. Marvin's two daughters
Kathy and Sharon soon joined the ranks as did Larry's mother-in-law,
Jeanette. The business continued to prosper and grow.
