The Glendora community of Gloucester Township will soon have a new ice cream shop to visit on hot summer days, as Glendora Ice Cream appears to be getting close to opening.
The location for the new cold treat shop is on the Black Horse Pike at 5th Ave, across the street from Larry’s Cold Cuts.
This is the FOURTH new Glendora business I’ve written about within the last month. Already opened are Chef Bo Chinese Ramen, Chang One Sushi Hibachi.. and coming soon is H&R Appliances.
Many remember the building for the new ice cream shop as the home to Kelly’s Bakery which closed likely at least 20 years ago. I found a Help Wanted ad for Kelly’s in a 1949 Courier-Post! It appears the first floor space has been closed for a long time.
For the Glendora Ice Cream shop, ownership has been putting a lot of effort into fully upgrading the building inside and out. Today the front corner features an attractive multi-colored stone façade… and the bright red and white Glendora Ice Cream signage was installed within the last week or so.
Honestly I don’t have a lot of details on the business just yet beyond that sign, which also features an image of a traditional hand-dipped hard ice cream cone.
I was going to hold off putting an article online until I got more details, but with the new signage recently installed I am getting a lot of messages/emails asking about it.. so I decided to put this online.
I’ve stopped at the location twice and unfortunately neither time were the owners onsite.
Last week there were cars in the rear parking lot so I tried the doors… through the glass back door I could see that the ice cream shop seems to extend all the way down to the back of the building, where the interior space looks fully remodeled. The open space at the rear had a number of tables and chairs which looked like they were recently delivered.
As mentioned the building also features a small parking area in the back.
Additionally, I could not locate any online presence yet for the upcoming ice cream shop. I checked Facebook, Instagram and TikTok… and there also isn’t a website under that name.
Likely the owners are focused on the remodeling aspects so they can get the business open.
The only extra information I can offer is it seems the owner did chat with a few people in the community within the last week, with the owner telling a few folks in the community he was hoping to be open within 30 days… which basically means the month of April.
I’ll likely be back for the opening to experience the new Glendora Ice Cream shop and share the experience with readers.
