Sentinel staff report–
A new Crumbl Cookies bake shop opened its doors in Citrus Heights for a soft opening on Thursday, with plans for a grand opening Friday.
The location, in a newer commercial building in front of Costco and Walmart on Auburn Boulevard, had a “now open” banner posted outside its doors on Thursday. Hours posted are Monday-Thursday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and with a close time two hours later on Fridays and Saturdays. The eatery is closed Sundays.
Crumbl Cookies locations offer delivery, curbside, catering and shipping of its cookies, with the menu rotating each week to offer four or five different specialty flavors — along with standard milk chocolate chip and chilled sugar cookies, which are always available, according to the company’s website.
This week’s specialty flavors include sea salt toffee, peanut butter cookies and cream, mint brownie, a gold coin sugar cookie, and a Lucky Charms-themed cookie.
Crumbl Cookies began in 2017 as the innovation of two cousins, Jason McGowan and Sawyer Hemsley. The company recently announced the opening of its 200th store nationwide, with the closest northern California locations being in Elk Grove and Roseville.
