Bel Air has gained a new food spot: Crumbl Cookie. The store is located in the Bel Air Plaza Shopping Center, and is open from 8AM to 10PM Monday-Thursday, 8AM- 12AM Friday-Saturday, and is closed on Sundays.
The franchise has over 800 stores across the U.S., and now has expanded into Canada, according to their website. The bakery is well known not only for their pink boxes, but for the menu that rotates weekly. Each week has four to five new flavors, and the sixth is always their famous chocolate chip cookie.
The company has also gained popularity, thanks to social media. With one search on apps like TikTok, users can find a plethora of videos related to the bakery, and some users post reviews of the flavors as well.
Senior Emma Gast was hired at the bakery before it opened, approximately two weeks ago (as of Nov. 14). She stated that the application process was “super easy,” and explained how it worked. “[She] just did an application online, and then they sent [her] a whole thing that [she] had to fill out for an interview.” After an in-person interview, applicants would have orientation two weeks later if they got the job. Training days also occurred a few days before the store opened.
Gast also added that the environment is “super fun, everybody is always really happy. It’s always easy-going and everybody just does their own thing.” One benefit she enjoys is always knowing the cookie flavors for the following week, and receiving 50% off cookies as well. She would recommend working there, because “everybody is super sweet, and funny.”
Former student Lili Laricci worked at the White Marsh location, before being hired at the Bel Air location. She added that “The environment is super clean and happy,” and discussed how her co-workers are “super sweet and understanding, and love to teach new tips and tricks to make the cookies extra special for [their] customers.” She would recommend working here, as “you will meet amazing people and be in a great environment.”
