Cookie monsters unite: the popular cookie shop chain Crumbl has at last opened their first location in Halton.
Located in the Upper Oakville Shopping Centre, the chain bakery of Crumbl has gained notoreity for their famous rotating menus and large dessert sizes.
In less than a decade, they've opened more than 1,000 locations across North America, including several in the Greater Toronto Area. But this new Oakville location is the first Crumbl shop to open in Halton - and it took a local entrepreneur to make it happen.
"I’m part of the community," says Shoab Khan, Oakville Crumbl's owner. "I was born and raised here, and I'm proud I now get to bring Crumbl here."
Khan says he first got introduced to Crumbl by his family while visiting them in the U.S. back in 2019: "We had dinner as a family and my sisters showed me the shop."
"What stood out when we got to the store was that customers were happy. People were excited, exuberant and talking about the product. That was unique - and so was the open bakery, the vibes, and the rotating menu. The attention to detail and customer service meant a lot to me."
The most unique part of Crumbl's business, however, is their viral rotating menu.
Khan says there will be 2-3 staples on mos weeks, while the rest of the shop's menu will feature several different cookie variety from the chain's recipe book of more than 250 unique cookie creations.
Every Monday, Crumbl will feature a brand-new menu just for the next six days, on display on their website and in-store. (The store is closed on Sundays.)
For the opening weekend, four cookie flavours were previewed in advance, all on sale:
- Semi Sweet Chocolate Chunk
- Sea salt and Toffee
- Peanut Butter and Snickers
- Chocolate Crumb with OREO
Shoab says he's tried at least 30-40, “and my teen daughter even more.” His favourite is the OREO cookie, but he also likes the churro cake dessert special.
"We want to give people what they want," Khan says with a smile. "We pay really close attention to every ingredient. Even one ingredient can change the composition of the cookie."
"Most important to me is that everyone who steps into the store will taste the care. We want to keep that for every customer."
Crumbl Cookies is now open at 1011 Upper Middle Road East, Unit C17. Hours are open daily at 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and until 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
