Hershey’s Shake Shop Creamery has opened in Bellmawr NJ on Creek Road, directly across from Bellmawr Lake. Now open 7 days a week (1pm-9pm) this all new treats shop is owned by a local Gloucester County family!
Shake Shop Creamery servers delicious Hershey’s Ice Cream products including Hand-dipped Ice Cream, Incredible Ice and Sorbet… how about a classic cone, fruit smoothie, or a shake for a delicious cool down!?
And there is so much more to come! This family-owned ice cream shop is building out their full menu which will quickly grow to include more special treats such as in-store-baked brownies, cookies and more…. Can you say “Hot Brownie Sundaes?!”
Plus with Hershey Ice Cream you’re getting REAL DAIRY ice cream… which means they use ingredients that give it an extra rich and creamy texture. Cream is the number one ingredient in Hershey’s ice cream… and you’d be surprised that with many of their competitors, that’s not the case.
During my visit they even had a Dairy-Free option which is made from oats!
By the way, Hershey’s has an awesome business model for their Ice Cream. Of course we know the name as a high quality food company based in the Philadelphia area… and for their ice cream they have chosen to fully support “the small guy” Ice Cream shops by not selling their high quality frozen treats in supermarkets.
I stopped in this week at Hershey’s Shake Shop Creamery and caught up with part-owner Michael, who along with his father (also Michael) and step-mom (Stacy) have opened up the ice cream shop in a small strip of stores in Bellmawr, which recently has been fully remodeled and also includes several other new businesses including a pizza shop and a convenience store.
Michael gave me the details on the new ice cream shop, where the ice cream freezer is filled with a full variety of delicious Hershey frozen products.
As mentioned the new ice cream shop is located across from Bellmawr Lake on Creek Road. The shop is positioned in the middle of the shopping center, and I think positions it directly across from the driveway entrance of the popular recreation lake.
Inside, the Shake Shop Creamery has been beautifully remodeled with attractive graphics that blend custom design elements.
The right wall features fun black and white graphics that tell a story of delicious and fun frozen treats. Perfect for a photo backdrop!
The counter area to the left is a fully open space, and the front of the counter features colorful brand graphics for Shake Shop Creamery, Hershey’s Ice Cream and beautiful photos of the delicious frozen treats.
For your ice cream, there’s a lot of customization options. Displayed on the counter are the five different types of sugar cones including pretzel, chocolate chip cookie, waffle and others.
Another really cool feature is the self-serve toppings wall! Featuring 30 different dispensers, when fully filled it will have a full variety of fresh topping treats for your ice cream sundae cone or more.
Michael described the core plan for the treat wall is that people could buy a few ice cream treats to go and then separately by a container of the toppings which are paid for by weight… like one of those bulk candy stores that used to be in the mall.
Another unique and flavorful thing I’ve never seen before is they are carrying a line of honey based sodas! Flavors include Cream, Ginger and Root Beer! It’s a small batch craft soda made made in a North Carolina farm (Wehrloom) using only real ingredients and their farm made honey.
There’s already plenty of reasons to stop in at the Shake Shop Creamery in Bellmawr, and I’m excited to see what the have planned for the new menu items over the next few months. To keep up with the latest, be sure to follow them at Facebook and other social media platforms.
