Sentinel staff report–
Although facing some delays, progress is still continuing for a new Crumbl Cookies bake shop to open in Citrus Heights, taking up a spot in a new commercial building outside Costco and Walmart on Auburn Boulevard.
In the latest update, Owner/Operator Chris Floyd told The Sentinel in an email last week that an initial target opening date of Feb. 24 had to be pushed back due to supply chain issues. He said the shop is still awaiting kitchen items to be delivered.
Floyd said the items are expected to arrive within a week, followed by a final inspection. If all goes as planned, he now expects an opening date during the second week of March, but those plans could be pushed back again.
As reported last month, Crumbl Cookies is hiring for the new location, with pay listed at $15/hr. 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, or find more information is 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.
