After a three-year absence from Glassboro, Liscio’s Bakery will soon be opening a brand new Bakery & Deli retail location within the borough on Delsea Drive.
Liscio’s is a well known and beloved bakery and deli in South Jersey, who have their large 150,000sf commercial bakery and headquarters located on Ellis Street in Glassboro… but for the last three years they have not had a retail customer location within the Borough of Glassboro after their previous property was sold.

In July of 2023, 42Freeway wrote about their early plans for a new Liscio’s Bakery & Deli retail store in Glassboro… in the former Save-A-Lot grocery store building next to Advance Auto Parts.
Matt Blatt Mitsubishi is across the parking lot.
The new Glassboro Liscio’s is basically across the street from the Monarch Diner, putting them in the heart of the Glassboro commercial district, and a short two-block walk from Rowan University and Rowan Boulevard.

Liscio’s currently has deli locations in Washington Township and Sicklerville, offering their fresh baked rolls, prepared hoagies, sandwiches, and pizza.. as well as cakes, pastries, specialty cheeses and related gourmet products.
Construction has been taking place for the new retail bakery for likely more than a year now, but a significant milestone was reached this past week when the Liscio’s signage was installed on the building as well as on the roadside sign along Delsea Drive.,
During my visit at the end of last week the parking lot was buzzing with a variety of trades on site… all working to complete the final interior details.

So if you didn’t catch this fact… it’s a large building for the retail deli and bakery, particularly when you compare it to the other retail locations.
While the building totals around 22,000 square feet, about 5,000 of it is planned to be used as the retail store aspect. I did get a chance to peek in about two weeks ago before the paper covering went up on the windows, and at 5,000sf it looked like a very big space… of course that was before the full buildout.
So what’s the plan for the other 17,000 square feet? Well it was reported at the Courier-Post two years ago that they will be using that space for baking as well as storage.

Some of the products baked within the new facility will be shipped to other stores.
I do have good contacts with the Liscio’s upper-management team, and i appreciate their responsiveness to my inquiries… but at this time though I personally don’t know what products they will be baking in the new building or the full gameplan.
We have to leave some surprises for Liscio’s to ROLL-out on their own… and of course it gives me another opportunity to stop in ahead of the opening and share with 42Freeway readers what the new location is all about.

Finally to the point… when are they opening?
Let’s go with… the opening is measured in weeks, and will likely happen before St Patrick’s Day (or sooner). I’m being a little more vague at this time because absolutely ownership is very familiar with construction processes… But in today’s world I’ve learned that until all those final inspections are done it’s really tough to put out a solid date.
