The timing couldn’t be better, with swimsuit season winding down. Cult sensation Crumbl Cookies is celebrating its grand opening this weekend at 3740 Park Boulevard North in Pinellas Park.

Celebrations take place from 8 am – midnight on Friday and Saturday, September 29 and 30, including giveaways, a ribbon cutting and more. Crumbl already has several locations in the Tampa Bay Area, but this is the closest opening to St. Pete, and the nearest location for a large swath of Pinellas County as a whole.

Described as “luxuriously high-end,” Crumbl has become loved across the country for its creative and fresh-baked cookies (though some have balked at the prices for chain baked goods). For example, Crumbl’s Seminole location is currently offering options like Pink Velvet Cake, Cookie Butter White Chip with Biscoff, Pumpkin Cheesecake, and a chilled Banana Cream Pie. They also have the old standby – chocolate chip.

Cookies are available individually or in packs of 4-12, and flavors vary daily by location. While Crumbl is advertising a Friday grand opening, the Google listing shows Thursday as opening day. We wouldn’t recommend making a long drive, as that could easily be an error, but if you live nearby … well, it might be worth passing through just to check. We certainly expect the crowds this weekend to be sizable.
