Long-awaited Crumbl Cookies is hiring for Citrus Heights location

By Mike Hazlip–
Crumbl Cookies at 6920 Auburn Blvd. is currently looking to hire about 30 more employees before the new Citrus Heights location can open, the franchise’s owner said Monday.

In an email to The Sentinel, Owner/Operator Chris Floyd said the hiring process began about a month ago and about 20 employees have been hired so far.

“We’ve had close to 200 people apply, however, only like 30 have actually shown up to the interview that was scheduled. So it’s been frustrating,” Floyd said. However, he noted that those who have been hired “are amazing, some of the most solid people I’ve seen, and I’m excited to get to work with them.”

Pay is listed at $15/hr. in a job posting for both part-time and full-time positions, with benefits including 50% off drinks and cookies, free samples, tips and flexible scheduling. Another benefit listed is having Sundays off.

Floyd said prospective employees can send a resume to the store email cacitrusheights@crumbl.com. Group interviews are Tuesdays at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., Wednesdays 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., Thursdays at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., and Saturdays at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. More information is also posted online.

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.

The eatery offers delivery, curbside, catering and shipping of its cookies, with the menu rotating each week to offer four different specialty flavors — along with standard milk chocolate chip and chilled sugar cookies, which are always available, according to the company’s website.
