The Rite Aid store on Sicklerville Road in Winslow is closing with its last day of operating set for today Wednesday April 30th.  Starting May 1st any prescriptions will be transferred to CVS at 589 Berlin Cross Keys Road (Intersection with Walgreens I stopped over yesterday to confirm the news directly with the store which is located close to the Williamstown-New Freedom Rd intersection… a “Super” Wawa is located directly across the street from the Rite Aid Looking at Google Maps, while this is a somewhat built up commercial area with a new larger apartment complex recently developed… there are no other large national pharmacy stores in the immediate area but an Express Savings Pharmacy is located very close somewhat across the street in a small strip mall shopping center While I saw this news posted on local town Facebook groups, it was also reported several days ago at the Townsquare Media Radio Station websites In those articles Townsquare articles they also list that the Brooklawn New Jersey store was closing… but I reached out to the local Brooklawn store who said Brooklawn is not closing and in fact have been receiving merchandise from other area Rite Aids that are closing it seems the status of any Rite Aid store can change on short notice Through 2024 Rite Aid was going through a well publicized bankruptcy proceeding but announced in September of 2024 that they had successfully moved out of bankruptcy Despite that positive outlook customers have noted shelves have remained noticeably thin on inventory in some areas, and additional store closings have been taking place (with many former locations already grabbed up by other retailers!) Another store expected to close is in Wildwood (New Jersey Ave) where as reported by the popular Wildwood Video Archive website convenience store chain Wawa plans on developing a new “Doo Wop” themed Super Wawa on the New Jersey Avenue Rite Aid property For my visit yesterday at the Sicklerville Road Rite Aid a sign on the window simply stated that prescriptions starting May 1st would be available at the Berlin Cross Keys Rd There were no store “Store Closing” banners on the building like we’ve seen for other locations during the earlier bankruptcy proceedings I chatted with store employees and management who confirmed that today (April 30th) was the last day for the Sicklerville Road location Location Page Categories News Historic Boxwood Hall Haddonfield – Restaurant And Bed Breakfast Heads to Planning Popular specialty bakery Nothing Bundt Cakes will soon be opening another South Jersey location, with the latest coming to Cross-Keys Road in Sicklerville… in the same building as the new Mission BBQ UPDATE: Sicklerville location NOW OPEN (March 31 This new shopping center where Nothing Bundt Cakes is opening is located next to the Shoppes at Cross Keys and across from the Patient First and Creanies Ice Cream properties.   As mentioned Mission BBQ was the first tenant that opened in the new construction building back in December A big “Hat Tip” to the 42Freeway reader who saw the new location at Nothing Bundt Cakes website and reached out to me For Nothing Bundt Cakes, this is the second location under development for the Route 42 area, as a location is also under development in Deptford at the Court at Deptford (Red Lobster Olive Garden)… which also has indications they open soon also evidence is showing that while we have known about the Deptford location since last September… it seems very likely there is a race between which of these two new Nothing Bundt Cakes locations opens Nothing Bundt Cakes offers delicious bundt cakes in a variety sizes… large cakes perfect for parties single servings for a grab-n-go or to take to the office All offered in a variety of innovative flavors Nothing Bundt Cakes has a very loyal following of customers who appreciate the delicious and moist cakes which are baked fresh in each location every day while I am certain this is the first “media” announcement for this new Cross Keys location… they are already hiring the Cross Keys Road Sicklerville location of Nothing Bundt Cakes is already listed on the Corporate Website as Coming Soon And while it’s not always 100% accurate the Google search business listing is showing an opening of March 21st!  My understanding though is the Google business listing opening dates are entered by the business owners themselves when they create and verify their business account for Google search But… while I don’t see job postings for Deptford they also have a Location page and… the Google Business listing shows Deptford opening on March 14th… a week sooner than Sicklerville I stopped in this evening at the Sicklerville location just as the construction team was locking up for the day but clearly saw inside the unit see that the walls and countertop space were already constructed While other South Jersey locations are owned by husband and wife team Jessica and Steve Boese… I’ve been told by Marilyn at South Jersey Food Scene that the Sicklerville location is not owned by them… instead it’s a first-time Nothing Bundt Cakes franchisee For those that have never tried nothing but cakes while it may seem like a very niche concept “Bundt cakes?  Like what Grandmom used to make?”…  Well nothing bundt cakes has taken the classic American cake to the next level and beyond They offer a variety of deliciously inventive flavors which are available in three sizes ranging from a full size bundt cake to a bundle at single serving which is about the size of a cupcake… and then even the smaller bundtinis which are almost like a familiar doughnut hole treat With a variety of delicious flavors and perfectly sized bundt cake options customers return again and again to buy the cakes for birthday parties office and family treats…  we’re just stopping in to grab a delicious bundt cake bite And while many bakeries have moved to a consolidated single central warehouse like bakery factory… nothing bundt cakes puts freshness and flavor first South Jersey they currently have locations in Cherry Hill Marlton and Mount Laurel.  Deptford is under development.   In my last visit to deptford it absolutely was under construction but there was

Dollar Tree announced last month that they are selling the Family Dollar store brand to another owner which means for the Sicklerville “Combo” Dollar Tree/Family Dollar location they are currently going through a 50% off store-closing-sale… but then according to employees after some upgrades it is expected to reopen as a Dollar Tree Plus location I stopped in yesterday to find a busy store where everything is priced at 50% off and it seemed to be at a point where there is a good selection of product (Note: there are a few exceptions such as tobacco products) I picked up a decent sized 48-quart Igloo brand cooler for $17.50 But word is getting out and I would imagine the store is going to empty out quickly To further explain what’s happening at the Sicklerville location… Well at the corporate level 10 years ago Dollar Tree bought Family Dollar for $9 billion That acquisition did not work out as planned and Dollar Tree just sold off the Family Dollar brand at a fraction of the price… $1 billion! (CNN) Most of the 8,000 Family Dollar locations are independent units and will continue to operate so those were easy to transfer over to a new owner But for the hundreds of “Combo” Dollar Tree/Family Dollar stores such as Sicklerville… there’s no real easy way to split the store in half So what they have decided to do is effectively close the store and sell off all of the merchandise at a steep discount…  and then after some upgrades and rebranding the Sicklerville store will reopen as Dollar Tree Plus location While I’ve never visited a Dollar Tree Plus location my understanding is effectively it’s going to be very similar to what shoppers already had with the combo store …  a large variety of items priced at $1.25 but then also a big selection of higher priced household items The sale is moving fast and in my midday visit yesterday there was a good number of customers there so I’d expect the shelves to clear out quickly… particularly after media coverage like 42Freeway I do not have timing on the reopening as a Dollar Tree plus but I was told unofficially that there will be some interior upgrades done as well as changing of the signage that that’s out to remove all of the family dollar references Sicklerville Combo Dollar Tree / Family Dollar – ClosingWinslow Shopping Center510 Williamstown Road Unit FSicklerville, NJ, 08081-1741 Website Blended Joe Coffee Bar Washington Twp is Open Paris Baguette Cherry Hill Coming Soon – Neighborhood Bakery Café First Watch Daytime Café opened this morning in Sicklerville NJ on Cross Keys Road in a fully remodeled space which was previously a Bertucci’s restaurant This First Watch location is very unique for the area in that it is the first in New Jersey to offer a full bar!  Yes Mimosas Bloody Mary’s and more are in the mix… BUT they are still a few days away from serving alcohol as they await the final licensing aspects to be completed That being said you could stop in tomorrow and order from their deliciously upgraded menu which features a full breakfast and lunch offering … ranging from the all new Double Crunch Breakfast Tacos and Million Dollar Potatoes or how about a Ham and Gruyère Melt? At First Watch you’ll find many of the classic breakfast and lunch items on the menu but absolutely all will have some unique twists… stepped up a few levels in taste First Watch also prides itself on its freshly made juices and coffees and in my visit this morning I got to try all three juices; Morning Meditation Now before you go running off to visit this new First Watch keep in mind they truly are a daytime café which means their hours run from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM I know what you’re gonna say… “they probably paid a lot of money for that liquor license so there’s no way they’re closing so early each day.” But trust me First Watch Sicklerville closes at 2:30pm every day As mentioned this new First Watch is located on Berlin-Cross Keys Road more specifically in the Shoppes of Cross Keys Shopping Center The center is located directly next to the AC Expressway exit and also is home to Texas Roadhouse The Bertucci’s Italian Restaurant which First Watch replaced had closed almost exactly 2 years ago First Watch has kept the core building shell of the previous building but completely changed things up with a brighter and lighter design which absolutely has a “farmhouse” feel to it but at the same time it reminds me of a breakfast cafe in Key West (although there are no “beachy” elements to the design.) The previous front walled-in patio area of the property was removed and replaced with a more subdued outdoor dining space.  The front corner main entrance now features a tall tower aspect entrance where the First Watch signage is prominently placed the layout of the two main dining rooms remains mostly the same with a small bar area  (and tables) in the front portion of the restaurant and in the rear-left of the building is the larger main dining room And to be clear when I say bar… yes you will be able to order an adult beverage but it’s more of a diner counter type vibe than a bar Well keep in mind they close at 2:30pm so it’s not like people will be hanging out and loudly chatting as they watch the game In the main dining room one wall highlights “Sicklerville” with a wall painting featuring a Beaver moving through a Creek For my visit I did stay and have breakfast I asked the bartender for a recommendation of something that was a little lighter Superfoods Bowl which featured a variety of healthy but sweet ingredients including a Coconut Milk Chia Seed Pudding Fresh Bananas and Berries and a House-made Granola.  The order is also served with whole grain toast with almond butter As mentioned I also got to try their three juices which I think Purple Haze was my favorite as it was a light lemonade style drink made with real cane sugar.  I joked it would be even better if it had a shot of vodka in it to which the bartender responded… “come back when the bar is open because you just described our Spiked Lavender Lemonade!” First Watch Sicklerville625 Berlin – Cross Keys

shot themselves during a police encounter Wednesday at a condo complex ​in Sicklerville NJ — A person fatally shot themselves during a police encounter Wednesday at a condo complex in Sicklerville The deadly encounter happened around 2:30 p.m An investigation by the Camden County Prosecutor's Office confirmed that no officers fired their weapons during the incident A wounded Winslow Township police officer was removed from the scene for treatment The officer's injuries don't appear to be life-threatening "The investigation also confirmed that this was an isolated incident and that there is no active threat to area residents or the surrounding community," the CCPO said The prosecutor's office withheld the deceased individual's identity and said no further information will be released at this time Lehigh Manor is in the Winslow Township portion of Sicklerville Multiple construction crews are feverishly working on the final details of the all-new First Watch breakfast-lunch restaurant coming to Sicklerville… which could open in just a few weeks (late November) And if you sign-up at their website you may get an invite to their pre-opening VIP event Back in May, 42Freeway was the first to report on the plans for the new First Watch location for Cross Keys Road which is taking over the former Bertucci’s restaurant (Bertucci’s closed two years ago)   This Cross Keys Road “restaurant row” also includes Buffalo Wild Wings I stopped over today to check on the construction progress to find a very busy construction site although the core elements appear to be complete including the exterior work with the First Watch signage in place on the building’s new front entrance tower as well as the Cross Keys Road frontage sign I got a chance to peek into the building… from my front door vantage point significantly all of the major dining area items look complete with seating in the space the bar counter and tile work installed and even the lighting fixtures are hung.  Some smaller decor elements remain to be completed and of course there will be a BIG full cleaning But did you catch that unique feature that I slipped into the construction status the Sicklerville First Watch will be the first location in New Jersey to have a full liquor license… which means mimosas bloody mary’s and more to go along with your delicious brunch meal In fact the Public Notice regarding the liquor license transfer was published recently As you likely know liquor licenses in New Jersey are typically rare and very expensive to acquire so it’s unique to see a restaurant such as First Watch which closes at 2:30pm to invest in an expensive liquor license which is only going to be used half of the day… If you’re unfamiliar with First Watch they call themselves the “daylight cafe” serving innovative breakfast and lunch entrees where everything is enhanced with chef inspired twists… such as their Million Dollar Bacon which is hardwood smoked bacon baked with brown sugar First Watch puts a lot of thought into making each of their entrees unique and their dining spaces also match that same mindset with a focus on unique and interesting details In the South Jersey area there is a First Watch in Cherry Hill as well as a location in Washington Township which is only 5.5 miles from the new Sicklerville location! A location is also under development in Marlton Clearly the Daylight Cafe must be seeing a lot of success with their existing locations and it’s exciting to see a premium national restaurant open two locations in the Route 42 corridor So regarding the opening date of the new First Watch Sicklerville location. it appears they are targeting a November 25th opening If you “googled” the restaurant the search result listing very clearly says Opens November 25th I didn’t know how much I can trust that but I would imagine First Watch management has to set that date But then within the last few days my Facebook feed presented me a sponsored ad from First Watch Sicklerville to sign up for their mailing list and in the lower gray bar footer it also very clearly said Opening November 25th My only hedge on that date is while I would assume they are training staff at the existing Washington Township location… that date is only about 2 weeks away and construction activity is still taking place First Watch Sicklerville (Opening Soon)625 Berlin – Cross Keys Rd,Sicklerville SS United States To Leave Philadelphia Next Week 2024 at 3:05 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}Big Lots is preparing to close all stores after the discount retailer's efforts to find a buyer collapsed NJ — Big Lots is preparing to close all stores after the discount retailer's efforts to find a buyer collapsed The bankrupt company announced Thursday that its previously announced restructuring plan fell through all remaining Big Lots locations will hold going out of business sales as the retailer makes a last-ditch effort to find a buyer Liquidation sales will commence "in the coming days," the company said in a news release But it's unclear when the remaining stores will cease operations After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September Big Lots hoped to stay afloat by closing hundreds of locations and selling its assets for $620 million to Nexus Capital Management The company hopes to reach an agreement with Nexus or another buyer by early January Big Lots is down to 18 New Jersey stores after closing nine of its locations in the state since October "We all have worked extremely hard and have taken every step to complete a going concern sale," Big Lots CEO Bruce Thorn said in a statement "While we remain hopeful that we can close an alternative going concern transaction in order to protect the value of the Big Lots estate we have made the difficult decision to begin the GOB (going out of business) process."

As mentioned this was previously approved in 2019 and the new public notice states that the primary change for the project is that the applicant proposes to reverse the locations of the two buildings A significant factor to that is Township ordinance requires a distance of 2,000 feet between businesses selling alcohol and the Township has interpreted that ordinance to mean the 2019 approved plan would not meet that distance requirement Based on documents provided by the developer it appears the Township used a straight line measurement whereas the developer is stating it should more likely be based on how a consumer would travel While I can’t speak for the Winslow Planning/Zoning Board this is something that they can choose to provide a variance for if it is seen not to be detrimental the Township or neighborhood the documents and site plans provided for the meeting do not give any indication of what these businesses could be The retail building is 5,040 square feet.  The restaurant and bar building is larger at 5,950 square feet with a 1,500 square foot mezzanine management office.  The site plan calls the restaurant building as “retail/restaurant” But it is clearly stated in other documents that one of the buildings will so alcohol and in a Walking Distance Exhibit provided by their engineers the building is clearly labeled proposed restaurant/bar Winslow Twp Planning and Zoning HearingFebruary 20 in-person.Project: VB Winslow RealtyWinslow Township Municipal BuildingDominic Maiese Municipal Courtroom125 South Route 73Braddock Nothing Bundt Cakes Opening Soon on Cross Keys Road Sicklerville Edelman Fossil Park & Museum Mantua Sets Opening Day An all-new construction Mission BBQ restaurant for Cross Keys Road Sicklerville is set to open mid-December in a brand new small strip of stores located next to the Shoppes at Cross Keys Mission BBQ is a fast-growing national chain of rustic themed quick casual BBQ restaurants featuring delicious “in-store” made barbecue chicken turkey and more… As well as delicious sides… all at a very fair price And the key underlying “mission” of Mission BBQ is in supporting first responders.  So far the restaurant brand has donated over $20 million dollars to national and local charitable organizations who support soldiers The combination of a delicious product at a fair price while also helping those who help us… has really connected with the community.  In fact it seems that every time I visit the existing Deptford location there’s always a large number of customers in the dining room Continue to read on for more on this new restaurant… but I’ll slip in now that the solid (but tentative) opening date is set for December 17th This date comes from several local charitable and first responder organizations who have recently shared they will be participating in the opening day celebrations For the upcoming Sicklerville location, 42Freeway first broke the news on it’s plans two years ago, and then last year we announced the start of construction As mentioned this is an all new construction building with Mission BBQ as an anchor tenant on the right side The location is in Gloucester Township between the Shoppes at Cross Keys and TD Bank.  The Patient First Urgent Care and Creanies Ice Cream are across the street While this project is a new development it actually is a smart reuse of the property which originally was a church (on the right) with a large parking lot to the side (on the left) That large parking lot allocation on the left half of the property was needed when the building operated as a church… to support the large congregation With the former church building now a Dialysis center that large amount of parking allocation was no longer needed… which caught the interest of a savvy developer To facilitate the construction of the new building as part of the conversion of the church building to it’s lower-traffic medical use a completely new dedicated parking area was developed in front of the former church building in an area that previously was an undeveloped “front yard” This completely freed up the left portion of the property (unused parking lot) for the development of a small strip of retail stores at the back When this project moved through Planning Board there was a second identified tenant… a dental office was expected to be developed on the left portion of the building.  Those plans for the dental office did not move forward With that being said, I don’t have any knowledge regarding additional tenants in the building. According to the online marketing website for the building, all of the other units are still available for rent I stopped over at the construction site this morning  (Saturday) to see that the exterior of the building is basically finished with the Mission BBQ exterior signage in place This Sicklerville Mission BBQ will also feature an outdoor patio area with covered roof I peeked through the windows of the upcoming Sicklerville Mission BBQ to see that it looks pretty much ready to go inside with all of the tables and chairs in place as well as the soda machines and televisions The televisions were operating and showing a Mission BBQ promo clip Overall I would say the Sicklerville dining room is smaller than Deptford but Sicklerville has a larger outdoor patio dining space While there are also now locations in Marlton and Hamilton I’ve only ever been to the Deptford mission BBQ The interior decor typically features a rustic wood and corrugated steel design with a significant amount of interesting decor elements and photos highlighting the first responder and military aspects of Mission BBQ all of the food is made in house and every location has massive smokers developed within the building so they can make the necessary large quantities to the support of customer base pulled chicken… which can be ordered as an entree or a sandwich In their Smokehouse Signatures category they offer baby back ribs smoked cheeseburger and a variety of specials For many customers the sides at Mission BBQ are as big a reason to visit as the entrees Each table has a centerpiece of six different barbecue sauces ranging from Kansas City to Memphis and more.  Delicious A variety of drinks and lemonade are offered with the big deal being the American Heroes Cup For $4.99 you get a special cup that you get to keep… and $2.00 of that purchase is donated to charity.  The next time you return bring that cup with you and you can get a refill for only $0.99 I’ll be back in two weeks for the opening Mission BBQ Sicklerville (Opening December 17th)601 Berlin-Cross Keys RdSicklerville (Gloucester Township) Uncle Gus’ Steaks in Reading Terminal Market South Jersey’s latest Mission BBQ restaurant officially opens in Sicklerville today… Monday December 23rd at 12 noon The Sicklerville (Gloucester Twp) location is a newly constructed building at 603 Berlin-Cross Keys Road Sicklerville NJ 08081.  This is next to the large Shoppes at Cross Keys complex The Mission BBQ Sicklerville opening is a slight delay from their original planned opening of last week On Friday December 20 they held their Military Appreciation Night which was somewhat of a preview opening.  While I learned of the event on my own I stopped in over the weekend to grab some final photos of the exterior of the building and realizing staff would be on-site ahead of the big opening I was hoping to grab some interior photos for readers… but I wasn’t able to work that out But the building exterior looks great and this Sicklerville location includes a covered outdoor patio dining area also In South Jersey Mission BBQ has other locations in Deptford and Marlton and we recently reported on plans for a location in Cherry Hill The space for the new building became available when the adjacent church building was converted into a medical dialysis facility.  This left a large parking area to the left of that former church building which was no longer needed and that extra parking space was converted into this new shopping plaza Mission BBQ is a growing chain of fast casual restaurants where all of their food is created in-house… each location features large smokers  which they used to repair freshly made BBQ chicken Turkey and more… as well as delicious sides The “mission” in mission BBQ is supporting first responders The theming of the restaurants is developed around the support of first responders and so far the brand states they have donated over $20 million to national and local charitable organizations They support national level charities they also go out of their way to support local charities and their website list as examples they support Deptford police and fire departments and the Monroe Township canine foundation and fire departments It’s the perfect combination of delicious food fair pricing… and knowing that you can help those who are helping us I had an inadvertent typo in the list of charities This was based on an issue with voice-to-text which misinterpreted a word I said Mission BBQ Sicklerville – Now Open!601 Berlin-Cross Keys RdSicklerville (Gloucester Township) Why is Sprouts Washington Twp Project Moving Much Slower Than West Deptford KPOT Korean BBQ Deptford Targets Early Spring Opening Asad’s Hot Chicken is one of the area’s top “must try” restaurants and now it appears they are “Coming Soon” to Sicklerville on Cross Keys Road This would be the second New Jersey location after Burlington opened last fall Update: Asad’s Sicklerville is Now Open. Check out my experience post The planned new location for Asad’s appears to be the former Texas Fried Chicken & Pizza location in the Winslow Plaza (next to ShopRite Sicklerville) Interior work has already started and the Asad’s Hot Chicken logo and distinctive graphics are in place in the customer area I previously reported that Dave’s Hot Chicken is taking over the former PDQ on Cross Keys Road Asad’s Hot Chicken offers a simple menu focused on large halal chicken tenders which are prepared Nashville Hot Style French fries and coleslaw round out the combo meals They also offer delicious milkshakes and fruit smoothies and for dessert strawberry or banana pudding Asad’s is well known and is a “must try share on social media” restaurant every time they open.  While I did not make it to their first South Jersey location opening (Burlington) I understand there were long lines of customers waiting to try the delicious chicken tenders and sandwiches It’s an amazing local success story where the chapters are still being written The first Asad’s Hot Chicken opened just two years ago in July 2022 The praise and success seems well deserved… I believe it’s a combination of delicious freshly prepared food served in a large platter at a reasonable price The most popular combo meal of a “slider with fries” is priced under 10 bucks So while they’ve been a secret to most of South Jersey, up to now much of the Philly metro area is well aware and telling everyone on social media!  The Asad’s Instagram account has 180,000 followers… and they started just two years ago The 2023 Philadelphia Magazine Best of Philly issue called Asad’s “Line-Worthy Chicken” I’ve known about Asad’s for a while now but it wasn’t until this morning that I had a chance to try it after driving over to a newer location in Philadelphia which opened near Saint Joe’s University (Woodlane Ave) I was impressed with my slider sandwich which featured a VERY large chicken tender on a fresh bun For under $10 it’s a large platter with the big sandwich a huge portion of fries… and coleslaw The sandwich was very tasty and cooked perfectly… Asad’s “puts the tender I went with a Hot style preparation which on first bite is cooled down a but with the slightly tangy sauce in the bite… but then two or three bites later the heat builds up and starts to catch ya Right now the Asad’s website shows 10 locations but that’s just in a matter of a TWO very short years and they are growing rapidly via a franchise model When Burlington opened last fall they only had four the former Texas Fried Chicken and Pizza location in the Winslow Plaza on Berlin-Cross Keys Road is closed (about two weeks ago)… but immediately construction paper went up on the main windows and interior upgrades started happening Upgrades that clearly indicate that Asad’s Hot Chicken is taking over the space the Asad’s Hot Chicken logo is clearly seen painted in the center…  as well as the brand’s distinctive graffiti style artwork throughout the space And while I didn’t take a photo of the side walls Four large display screens are above the counter area which match up to the digital menu display I saw during my visit to the Woodlane Ave location in Philadelphia Asad’s Hot Chicken does an amazing job with their social media presence and as of today there’s been no official announcement of this new Camden County location but it’s tough to deny the interior graphics and logos which are already in place at the Winslow Township restaurant unit The location is the Winslow Plaza which is directly next to the ShopRite of Sicklerville and it sits at the busy intersection of Berlin-Cross Keys Rd Hat tip to a 42Freeway reader who reached out to me Asad Khan is a Philly native with a comprehensive food industry background growing up around the restaurant industry and developing a passion for it at a very young age The first Asad’s hot chicken restaurant opened in Northeast Philadelphia in 2022 and like all of the locations the menu is halal.  From Asad’s first location on it seems the local community really grabbed on to the delicious large chicken tenders spicy seasonings and Asad’s Secret Sauce Very quickly the delicious flavors and excellent value grew into a large fan base who love to share the experience with others on social media As mentioned the chicken is prepared as large tenders which could be eaten as a tender or on a bun (slider) There are four different levels of spice (mild extra hot and scorchin’) as well as an option for no spice at all with 5 of them based on the chicken tenders Likely the top seller is the “Number 1 Slider With Fries” which also includes pickles cheese and Asad’s sauce… for under $10 The other four options are variations on the sliders or tenders and combo item 6 is a large platter of loaded fries As mentioned they offer milkshakes in six different innovative flavors including Nutella Magic Fruit Smoothies are offered in 5 flavors including Razzle Dazzle For dessert they offer Strawberry or Banana pudding flavors At this time I have no updates on when the Sicklerville location would be opening Asad’s Hot ChickenWinslow Plaza542 Berlin Cross Keys RdSicklerville Jalsa Indian Kitchen Somerdale – Amazing Dishes Photo Post Cross Keys Road Reopens A New Widened Roadway Segment With over 200 locations nationally, Dave’s Hot Chicken celebrates their new Sicklerville location “soft” opening this Thursday October 24th.  The official Grand Opening is set for Friday. 42Freeway broke the news of this location back in June The Cross Keys Road location is opening in the former PDQ Chicken restaurant building which sits in front of Carmax The building’s size provides a full dine-in restaurant option This is the second location for Dave’s in South Jersey, with Cherry Hill opened in April of this year.  Sicklerville (Winslow) will be the 7th location in the state Dave’s Hot Chicken specializes in the popular Nashville Hot style chicken tenders which are cooked fresh and served in your choice of seasoned spice level Cauliflower tenders and a variety of sides including fries (Dave’s menu can differ per location so we likely won’t know the full Sicklerville offering until the open) Folks say that Dave’s Chicken Tenders are “Jumbo”… and I’ve had them maybe four times now (in two different states) and I have to agree they are very large tender And it seems they clearly have found their fanbase I’ve been to the Cherry Hill location at least twice several months after their opening and each time I visited I experienced a still crowded restaurant the Dave’s team has done a great job rebranding the building to Dave’s… which features a white base exterior paint and fun and colorful graphics throughout the building Unfortunately during my recent visit the sun was positioned in the very back of the building so that the front of the building was shadowed… and you know I pride myself on my photography!  So I am not ecstatic over my images but I wanted to get this article online to let people know of the opening I may stop back soon to refresh these images the fun and colorful graffiti style graphics continue and Dave’s will likely incorporate some local aspects to the design in Cherry Hill there is a boxing chicken in a boxing ring… In reference to when Mohammed Ali used to live in Cherry Hill As of right now I have not been inside Dave’s Sicklerville to see what the design is… and when I stopped in very recently the restaurant was filled with their new staff who are actively involved in training With this building Dave’s inherits a drive-thru lane but I noticed the menu boards are completely blank so it makes me think that they will not be operating a drive-thru Readers are probably wondering if there’s any grand opening day promos and as far as I can see none only are any listed for Sicklerville (and we’re just days away) It appears there were no special promos or giveaways for Cherry Hill either My apologies readers that there are some details that I don’t have at this time but I felt it was important to get the news out regarding the opening Nashville Hot Chicken tenders and sandwiches are absolutely “hot” right now as customers seem to be willing to wait in long lines to get their hands on freshly made chicken tenders and sandwiches To support that demand a variety of competitors are rushing to claim their territories throughout all of the United States Back in August, less than a mile away on Cross Keys Road the Philadelphia based Asad’s Hot Chicken opened to a large crowd of customers First started in 2017 in a makeshift parking lot kitchen in California the rapidly growing quick-casual restaurant now has over 200 full restaurant locations with 100s more signed on to be developed If you’re unfamiliar with what Nashville Hot Chicken is… well at Dave’s Hot Chicken they are serving large pieces of chicken breasts which can be ordered as a tender or a slider sandwich The preparation is key to any recipe and at Dave’s they first marinate the chicken breasts in their own secret proprietary brine recipe That marinating locks in flavors and juices into the chicken The chicken tenders are then breaded and deep fried the signature spicy dry rub style seasoning is added to the fried chicken tenders which really gives it that Dave’s special flavor…  and adds the “hot” to the chicken that spice level can be chosen by the customer which at Dave’s Hot Chicken is 7 levels of heat starting with no spice at all and then moving through mild Dave’s also has their own tangy sauce which can be used to dip the chicken tenders in The sauce is also part of the slide sandwich preparation what sets the different brands apart is… well for example at Dave’s every aspect of the above process is a proprietary recipe which gives their tenders it’s signature freshness The core menu of Dave’s is focused on simplicity offering options of chicken tenders or the sliders But looking at the Cherry Hill menu online I see they have expanded things by offering Dave’s bites (smaller chicken nugget sized pieces) as well as a meatless “Dave’s NOT Chicken” which are made from Cauliflower Dave’s Hot Chicken – Sicklerville (Opens Thursday October 24th)610 Berlin – Cross Keys RdSicklerville Hey Dude Casual Footwear is Open in Gloucester Premium Outlets Blackwood

South Jersey!” I stopped in at the end of last week and caught up with local owner Ashish who is a super-friendly guy and genuinely enthusiastic about unique snack foods… putting a lot of time and effort into researching different interesting items to bring into his Sicklerville convenience store To be clear this is a full traditional convenience store offering smoke products and more But in

Washington Township Police Det It appears a new Mission BBQ location is coming to Cherry Hill’s Marketplace at Garden State Park shopping center )where Wegmans is also located) Additionally, prior reports of Mission BBQ Sicklerville opening on December 17th has been delayed via an official announcement at there Facebook page The BBQ restaurant brand is in early stage planning for a Cherry Hill location believed to be opening on Route 70 in Cherry Hill The identified unit within the Garden State Park retail complex was originally a Pei Wei fast-casual Asian restaurant located then a Land’s End store….in the same building as the recently opened Tommy’s Tavern and Tap The multi-unit building is immediately to the right of the shopping center’s main Route 70 entrance I always use Wegmans to identify this shopping center as the popular supermarket is such a unique and well-known business people instantly connect with the location … but more specifically this new Mission BBQ will be more in front of the Home Depot So I noticed several weeks ago that leasing documents for the Garden State Park Retail Complex identified this as “Lease Pending  Fast Casual BBQ Restaurant” but I had held off putting the story online just waiting to confirm who was coming in Recently the popular Facebook page “A View From Evesham” beat me to getting the story online and put the leasing summary info online and pondered if it were Mission BBQ Earlier today a loyal reader of 42Freeway messaged me saying they had reached out to the customer service team at Mission BBQ via social media and asked about their plans to come to Cherry Hill (specifically to the Rt 70 Shopping center) Hi!  Thanks for your message!  Yes we expect to come to that great community (Cherry Hill) at the end of next year (2025) Absolutely I would prefer to see the brand and location linked 100% together So do those two halves of information equal a whole Mission BBQ coming to Cherry Hill Route 70?  Likely In other area Mission BBQ news, they have a location close to opening in Sicklerville Cross Keys Road… and that mid-December opening will be delayed although a new date has not been set yet In an update last month I had reported they were planning on opening on December 17th based on several public reports from area emergency services and military organizations who were invited to participate in the Grand Opening celebrations But just three days ago the official national Mission BBQ  Facebook page announced that they will not be opening on that date and will be postponing their military appreciation night and Grand Opening celebration for Sicklerville to a later date A new date has not been announced just yet I think at this point everyone knows what Mission BBQ is all about… but in a quick summary They are a privately held national chain of fresh BBQ restaurants where everything is made in store including the delicious sides They first entered the South Jersey market with a large Deptford location which has proven to be very popular An underlying theme of the restaurant is to support and honor emergency service personnel and the military… the theming of the restaurant supports that and Mission BBQ says nationally they have donated over $20 million to charities associated with those organizations Mission BBQ Cherry Hill – PlannedMarket Place at Garden State Park2000 Route 70

As Nashville hot chicken tears through the nation's tastebuds, Sicklerville is becoming a red-hot battleground. Dave's will be located a mile down Berlin-Cross Keys Road from Asad's Hot Chicken, which opened its Sicklerville restaurant in early September Nashville-style hot chicken sliders; house-made kale slaw; creamy mac and cheese; and seasoned french fries Chicken is available at seven different spice levels ranging from "No Spice" to "Reaper," which requires a signed waiver The fast-growing restaurant chain originated in a parking lot pop-up in East Hollywood four friends scraped together $900 to purchase an air fryer and serve flavorful hot chicken tenders Despite only selling one item — a hot chicken combo plate — the street-food stand became a hit with lines that sometimes stretched around the block In 2023, Dave's reached an agreement to open seven South Jersey restaurants over the next five years, according to NJ Advance Media. The first location opened earlier this year in Cherry Hill while Sicklerville will have the region's second The other locations have not been disclosed Dave's in Sicklerville will open at the former site of PDQ — another chicken joint, which closed last year The restaurant will operate during the following hours: Asad’s Hot Chicken has confirmed their new location for Sicklerville NJ, with a Grand Opening date set for September 6th. 42Freeway first broke the news on this location on August 2nd Asad’s Sicklerville will be offering four hours of free food that day from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.  Based on experiences at other grand opening events Assad’s should have hundreds of people waiting in line to try their amazing Nashville-Hot style chicken tenders The new location is in the Winslow Plaza which is to the side of the ShopRite on Cross Keys Rd.  Asad’s is moving into the unit which was previously Texas Fried Chicken I stopped by today to see that the restaurant looks ready to open with exterior signage in place and a fun graffiti style interior with digital display menu screens ready to go.  Likely they’re using the next week to train employees on the Asad’s menu and preparation techniques If you’re unfamiliar with the Asad’s Hot Chicken they offer a simple menu focused on a large halal chicken tenders which are prepared Nashville-hot style.  You don’t have to “sweat it” because you can choose the level of heat for your Asad’s Chicken Tenders from no-spice up to “scorchin’” Seasoned French fries and coleslaw round out the combo meals Asad’s Chicken Tenders can be ordered as a tender meal For the sliders the tenders are served on a bun They also offer delicious milkshakes and fruit smoothies Asad’s started in Philadelphia and despite being around for only a few years they have established themselves as one of the viral must try food items where customers will typically wait in long lines for days And likely that solid fan base is well deserved as Asad’s freshly preparers all of the food each day in-house Likely the number one menu item is a single chicken slider combo where the slider is prepared with cheese The combo rounds out with fries and an extra Asad’s sauce container for your fries Priced at under $10 it’s a hearty meal at a great price The Number 5 tender wrap is also priced at under $10 The Sicklerville location will be the second South Jersey Asad’s. They previously opened one at the end of 2023 in Burlington.  Another South Jersey location is planned for Cherry Hill, on Haddonfield Berlin Rd. 42Freeway wrote about Cherry Hill coming just a week ago So likely today most of South Jersey is unfamiliar with Asad’s Hot Chicken and honestly… there’s probably a lot of unfamiliarity with the Nashville-Hot style chicken also But over in Philadelphia there are several Asad’s restaurant locations already open, and to that point the Instagram account for the restaurant has over 180,000 followers I had a chance to try a an Asad’s chicken tender slider sandwich earlier this month when I drove over to Philadelphia and visited a recently opened location next to Saint Joe’s University (Woodlane Ave) Overall I was is impressed with the slider sandwich which featured a very large chicken tender on a fresh bun coleslaw and cheese.  As I mentioned for $10 it’s a large platter with a big sandwich and a massive portion of French fries… as well as a bonus container of Asad’s sauce to dip the fries in I felt the sandwich was very tasty and cooked perfectly.    Their chicken tender lived up to the name… incredibly tender and a flavorful bite I went with a “hot” level of heat which at first bite I thought wasn’t too hot… but then as I took additional bites… man it started catching up with me quick Right now the Asad’s website shows 10 locations but as mentioned we have the Sicklerville opening now and I know at least Cherry Hill is coming soon also Asad’s Hot Chicken – Opens September 6thWinslow Plaza542 Berlin Cross Keys RdSicklerville Edelman Fossil Park and Mantua Boulevard Extension Update July construction updates on several exciting Berlin-Cross Keys Road Sicklerville projects we previously covered; Mission BBQ These four projects moved through approvals and leasing at different times over the last two years and now we are seeing activity across all four projects Also, back in May an all-new Johnny Longhots Steak & Pizza shop opened in the Shoppes at Gloucester Mission BBQ is a popular barbecue restaurant with over 100 locations.  An area location in Deptford NJ near the mall is very popular… every time I visit no matter the day or time there are always many customers in the dining room With the first location opened on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 Mission BBQ strives to honor those who proudly serve for us whether in the military emergency services and related.  To date they have donated more than $20 million Mission BBQ is being developed in an all-new construction small stripmall in Gloucester Township next to the Shoppes at Gloucester,  and across from Creanies Ice Cream/Patient First Urgent Care The property was originally a parking lot for the church, but that church was converted to a dialysis center making the large parking area unnecessary.  To fully support both buildings (dialysis center and new construction) a new parking lot was first developed in front of the dialysis center I first reported on the plans for this shopping center in November 2022, and published an update a year later when initial construction started In my visit last week you could see that the new building is fully “built up” with most of the exterior siding in place A somewhat signature Mission BBQ corner entrance “tower” is seen on the building The door on the right side of the building will lead to a side outdoor patio dining area which is very similar to the Deptford location Based on construction documents I’ve seen this Mission BBQ will take about 1/3 of the building which likely means it will be smaller than the Deptford location Currently I see they have a job opening for a Marketing Coordinator which is likely a role they want to have on board ahead of the restaurant opening to help build up awareness within the community Aspen Dental is also an all-new construction effort and is rising quickly in front of the Winslow Township ShopRite.  An existing tall digital billboard signpost is directly in front of the new dental office I first covered plans for this new 3,525 sq ft building back in February of 2023. Previously the property contained a small ranch home that had been converted into an office That building was demolished ahead of construction the project design flip-flopped from when I first wrote about it Originally the new building was to be placed on the left side of the property Later on the developers returned to the Winslow Board with a site plan which moved the dental building to the right side of the property… and interestingly very close to the digital billboard signpost Having the signpost so close to the roadside frontage side of the building is something I’ve never seen.  While I did not walk on to the construction site it appears based on photos and the submitted site plans that the large signpost is just a few feet (maybe inches) away from new dental offices front side Online I found job listings for a dentist and the office manager Dave’s Hot Chicken is a fast growing “Nashville Hot” style chicken tender restaurant which is redeveloping the previously closed PDQ Chicken restaurant on the Winslow Township side of Cross Keys Rd I first broke news on the project in early June of this year and already crews are on site completely gutting the interior of the restaurant I stopped in last week to see a dumpster on site and from my car vantage point I could tell that the interior of the building was gutted.   I did not get out of the car to snap a photo of the interior… it was a REALLY hot day and maybe I was also feeling a bit lazy!  Dave’s Hot Chicken opened a location in Cherry Hill back in early April and was met with several weeks of long lines of people waiting to try one of America’s hottest chicken restaurant chains I stopped back in to the Cherry Hill location a few weeks ago and still found a very packed restaurant with most seats filled and customers waiting for orders If you’re unfamiliar with Dave’s Hot Chicken they feature a simplistic menu focused on their Nashville Hot Sstyle chicken tenders A small selection of delicious sides are also offered All of the chicken is prepared fresh in-house comment and they offer a variety of heat levels that the customer can choose when ordering The limited menu offerings is very similar model to Raising Cane’s except Dave’s Hot Chicken focuses on the spicier Nashville style seasonings A First Watch brunch restaurant is planning on taking over the previously closed Bertucci’s Restaurant at the front of the Shoppes at Gloucester First Watch is a brunch-focused restaurant who calls themselves “The Daylight Cafe” serving amazing breakfast and lunch entrees where everything is enhanced with chef inspired twists which is a hardwood smoked bacon baked with brown sugar A location has been open in Washington Township for several years and before that they opened in Cherry Hill The special twist for the upcoming Sicklerville location is that based on the plans that I have they will be offering a full bar in Sicklerville…  offering amazing mimosas My article on the plans for

yesterday and toured the building with location owners Blake and Becky Maxey who live close by in Camden County.   The building is construction complete and has its Certificate of Occupancy… which means its time to load up the shelves The staff will soon be starting the process stocking the initial deliveries of dry good merchandise onto the shelves.  Closer to the opening date they will bring in fresh produce 42Freeway first wrote about this upcoming Grocery Outlet almost a year ago to the day.  The location is a former freestanding Rite Aid store which while it still retains the core familiar building shape it has seen significant upgrades inside and out.  Most noticeably to the community is the bright red exterior signage which has been grabbing the attention of commuters and shoppers for a few weeks now on the busy Cross Keys Road In my visit yesterday it appears that other than putting merchandise on the shelves All of the cash register checkout lanes are in place as well as all of the shelving freezer and refrigerator units…  even the interior signage and catchy wall graphics are hanging and on the walls In multiple places the interior signage has images of Blake and Becky… as it truly is the Grocery Outlet model that the owners are an integral part of the customer shopping experience And to make sure they were ready for everything the couple completed a TWO YEAR training program ahead of opening the Sicklerville store which had them hands-on working all aspects of the grocery from stock and checkout The final challenge for them and the team is stocking the shelves… and at the back of the store large palettes stacked with dry good merchandise area arriving the brand considers themselves “opportunistic buyers” where they are able to make deals with distributors and manufacturers for name brand merchandise at deep discounts Merchandise and even pricing can vary each time you return but it is a goal of the brand and the Maxey’s to ensure that they are covering all aspects of the shopping experience… at the best prices Grocery Outlet strives to be a full shopping experience for the local community and offers fresh meats and produce dairy products and even personal hygiene goods such as shampoo or toothpaste Significantly low prices and special deals will be found throughout the store with several super low price areas such as the “Power Wall” positioned at the front of the store which will feature the best “when they are gone While Grocery Outlet is new to South Jersey just starting their big push to build out several locations… I was happily surprised at the amount of positive comments the are getting online from very happy customers who have shopped at their existing locations either in Pennsylvania or other parts of New Jersey The whole business model of Grocery Outlet is based on having the best pricing on the full supermarket product mix… But Blake says as owner/operators of the location he and his wife can choose inventory and pricing for what the store offers and it’s their goal to keep margins low and consistently be one of the best priced shopping experiences in the area A wide variety of grocery items is also important to the Maxeys Grocery Outlet has a healthy product program called NOSH (Natural Organic Special Healthy) and the Maxeys are going beyond the Corporate recommendations buy offering an even larger variety of healthy I chatted with Blake and Becky for about 90 minutes in the store the layout of different areas and the pricing model But one thing that kept coming up again and again was the number of efforts connected to the community For Grocery Outlet it’s very important for be an integral part of the community with several programs to support local charities and businesses (as suppliers) And it’s clear that Blake and Becky are looking to take the community support aspect to the next level with several of their own efforts Two days before the grand opening will be the Supermarket Sweep contest where police and fire departments will have a fun two-minute shopping spree battle where the focus is on picking items with the most significant savings.   Whoever saves the most gets that money donated to their charity Sicklerville Grocery Outlet is opening just as the company has their their yearly “Independence From Hunger”  program which raises money and food for area charities Customers can make a $5 donation which goes directly to the charity but in turn Grocery Outlet is giving you a $5 coupon to be utilized on your next visit The Sicklerville Grocery Outlet has chosen Unforgotten Haven in Blackwood and the Community Care Food and Clothing Pantry in Sicklerville as this year’s recipients for their store Blake and Becky also want to bring in local vendors and farmers where they can and have made an arrangement with the local Ferrara’s Orchards to offer fresh jersey produce such as sweet jersey corn They will also be carrying Holy Grounds coffee which is a nonprofit coffee company where the coffee is roasted and packaged by clients of Westville’s Saint John of God Community Services.  The program improves the lives of individuals with disabilities by giving them a rewarding work experience being an integral part of the entire coffee business experience Grocery Outlet’s HERO program will offer active and veteran military members firefighters and EMTs a daily 3% discount on purchases and seniors will see a 5% discount on their entire order on a designated day of the week So many reasons to try out Grocery Outlet Sicklerville…
