Massachusetts: There Are Now 11 Crumbl Cookies Locations With More Coming

Author Jeff Gorra

In total, Crumbl Cookies has 839 stores across the country. That’s a lot of chocolate chips. Waltham will now be home to the 11th Crumbl Cookies location in Massachusetts. It is set to open on June 9.

The good news doesn’t stop there. There are plans to add even more in the Bay State this year. MassLive recently reported that stores in Hudson and West Springfield will open soon as well. Crumbl Cookies also opened a new location near the home of the Patriots earlier this spring.

The History of Crumbl

Believe it or not, Crumbl Cookies just opened in 2017. That averages almost 120 stores per year with a pandemic in-between. Two cousins in Logan, Utah started the franchise. Jason McGowan (CEO)  Sawyer Hemsley (COO), mastered their cookie formula by asking for feedback from their friends, family, and first customers. In fact, this method of engagement helped them overcome tons of recipes that did not work.

When the first store opened, they ensured the layout always allowed customers to see the cookies prepared and made. They try to replicate this at each location. Crumbl started with only chocolate chip cookies available for takeout or delivery. Slowly, as their popularity grew, so did their cookie creativity.  By 2018, the four-flavor rotation was in-play. New flavors are announced regularly via the company’s social media accounts.

Waltham, MA

“The new store is set to provide 65 jobs to area residents, according to Crumbl, and it will be open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays,” MassLive said. The address is 1077 Lexington St.

The opening day menu at this new Massachusetts Crumbl Cookies location includes Nilla Bean Cupcake, Molten Lava, Lemonade, Classic Pink Sugar, and of course, their famous milk chocolate chip.

Ranking The 5 Best Burgers At Fenway Park

Whether you are inside the stadium or pre-gaming before the game, there is no shortage of burger options at Fenway Park. How do you decide which place to go to satisfy your craving? Here, we will rank the 5 best burgers around Fenway Park.

These selections are specific to the ballpark neighborhood. They include the options available inside the park as well. We are fortunate that each of the streets bordering Fenway Park offer dining options. From quick grabs to a more formal sit-down style, burgers are cooked here in a plethora of variations. Now, with MGM Music Hall open (adjacent to the Park), more and more people are seeking food options that pair well with the main event.

It is likely that while you are walking into Fenway, you will come across sausage carts, cooking right there in the street. Though there are numerous options to grab a sandwich here, most of them do not offer a typical burger.

Fenway Park is also a destination region of the city. Often ticketholders plan what meals they will have when making the trip. Whether you are looking to grab a beer and a casual meal or more of a fine dining experience before first pitch, you have burger options to meet your requirements.

What Burgers Will You Find at Fenway?

In the neighborhood, there are chain restaurants that are specific to New England. Then, there are other establishments that you can find across the country. Lastly, there are also burger joints that are exclusively here, as it’s their only location.

Many burger options by the park are very reasonably priced. You can get a “Big Papi” themed burger topped with the works, such as bacon, a grilled hot dog, and fried egg for under $20. If a more traditional and simple option is your preference, you are covered there as well. A standard hamburger can be found for as low as $6.

On a recent trip to Fenway Park, we went on a mission to rank the five best burgers. Although there are probably over 20 different options nearby, these are the ones that make the starting lineup.

  • #5 Wahlburgers

    Mark and Donnie Wahlberg’s chain of quality burgers has prominent placement along Brookline Ave. The choice here is the “Super Melt” where a cheeseburger marries a grilled cheese. Add a side of tots, and this meal compliments your overall Boston entertainment experience.

  • #4 Boston Burger Company

    The home of the aforementioned “Big Papi Burger,” Boston Burger Company has the most creative menu of the bunch. If you have that unique craving for a fried banana atop a burger, then this is the place you have to go. The “Green Monstah” was right on theme. Homemade guacamole adds the perfect touch to this heavy hitter.

  • #3 Cask 'n Flagon

    The Fenway Burger at Cask ‘n Flagon is the go-to at this Fenway landmark. Just like in baseball, consistency with burgers is key. The good-sized patty topped with bacon, cheddar, and onion rings is the perfect fastball of flavor that you look for in a burger.

  • #2 Tasty Burger

    This fan-favorite has become a main attraction of the Fenway area since it opened in 2010. It’s a true example of a neighborhood comfort food where the traditional cheeseburger is under $8. Just like the ballpark, Tasty Burger is has a classic retro feel that pairs perfectly with a ballgame. With that in mind, the regular cheeseburger seemed appropriate, and it did not disappoint.

  • Fenway Park - Home Plate Grill

    The new maple glazed bacon and cheddar cheeseburger topped with caramelized onions is a force to be reckoned with. It’s new to the Fenway Park menu for this season and can be found inside the stadium at the Home Plate Grill or Truly Terrace. Adding fresh maple taste to anything is usually a plus, but having it as the secret sauce to a burger available inside the gates that you can eat while watching the game is a home run.
