South Carolina Cookie Store Car Crash The Latest ‘Crumbl’ In What’s Become A Bizarre Phenomenon For The Chain

So, we were at work on Friday afternoon.  And, a text came through from a friend with a screenshot of a car crashed through the window of a storefront.  She asked me if it was the Crumbl Cookie store near our home.  And, it was indeed.  So yes, the South Carolina cookie store car crash is just the latest  'crumbl' in what's become a bizarre phenomenon for the popular chain.  We'll get to the why I say 'bizarre phenomenon'  in just a moment.

The 'on the scene' social post indicated a female driver crashed through the Crumbl Cookie storefront.   And, although we don't know what happened, the post did say she was ok.   Also, in talking with a witness, it's possible the driver may have blacked out briefly and hit the gas mistakenly.  But, it's not known for sure.  I started searching to find details.  Instead, I found multiple stories about drivers crashing through Crumbl Cookie stores in other locations.   What is happening?  It's like the curse of the Crumbl Cookie crashes.

Well, the first Crumbl Cookie crash incident that came up in my search was from July of 2023.  And, this one happened in Fairview Park, Ohio.  Similar to the South Carolina location, that store was fairly new.  But, a driver plowed through the storefront.  Luckily, the report from Cleveland 19 News says a planter blocked the car from traveling too far into the building.  And, no one was harmed.

Then, I came across a story from October of 2022.  This one was in Raleigh.  According to My Fox 8, a pickup truck crashed into the Sherman Oak Place Crumbl Cookie location.  Of course, the store had to close for the day because of the damage.  But, the store decided not to let the unsold cookies go to waste.  They gave them to Raleigh fire crews who shared them with the Emergency Communications Center "as a gesture of thanks and appreciation for those who worked during the tragic mass shooting event in our community on Oct. 13." as tweeted by the City of Raleigh.  And, I even stumbled on a similar incident in Oxnard, California.

Over the last few months, my husband and I started a weekly treat tradition.  As residents of Indian Land, South Carolina, we are lucky enough to have the famous Crumbl Cookie right across the street from us.  In fact, we just bought our weekly box the night before this happened.  And, I suppose everyone is lucky there were no injuries.  If you've been in this store you know it's not huge.  So, anything coming through the windows has potential to hit customers or staff.

Obviously, these crashes are all just unlucky coincidences.  But, how crazy is that?  And, who knows if there are more.  These examples are just the ones I found in a couple of minutes searching.  We'll update the story if and when there are more details available about what led to the South Carolina Crumbl cookie car crash.  And, in the meantime, we'll still get our Crumbl Cookies.  But, we'll be watching the door!

If I had to choose one simple dessert to enjoy for the rest of my life, I would choose cookies. Although I am not sure what my favorite cookie is, I really love double chocolate chip cookies. I also really love Oreos with milk.
