Crumbl Cookie Grand Opening

By Jeanni Ritchie
 
Hi! Welcome to Crumbl!
 
That’s the greeting you get when you walk through the door at Alexandria’s newest dessert shop, Crumbl Cookie at 2303 S. MacArthur Drive Unit B. 
 
The line snaking out the door was no deterrent for customers determined to get their teeth into one of the country’s crazes. 
 
Most left with 4 or 6-packs, wanting to either share with the family or take advantage of this week’s flavors. Crumbl offers six distinct flavors each week so you have to grab them while they’re here. 
 
New flavors come out each Monday and the flavors for the upcoming week drop on our website and social media channels Sunday night at 7 PM,” owner Jeff Vaccaro explains. 
 
The store will begin selling their minis Monday, June 17. Minis are available on Mondays only or through their catering. 
 
“How do these look?” employee Olivia Carr asked each customer as they arrived at the pick up counter. Customer satisfaction is paramount to the Crumbl experience and Olivia provided it with zeal. 
 
Malia Perkins came in with her dad who’d ordered a dozen online. The process was easy and fast, they said. 
 
Departures were just as eventful. “See you next week!” Crumbl yells out as you leave. 
 
You will indeed, I thought, as I sunk my own teeth into the Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookie.
