Smash Bros. Owners Double Down in Glassboro: ‘Sweet Escape’ Dessert Shop Opening This Summer


From Savory Smash Hits to Sweet Surrender

Fresh off the successful launch of their spacious Glassboro SmashBros location (which opened in March 2025, expanding from their original Runnemede spot), the Abuhmoud brothers seized the opportunity to take over the adjacent storefront at 710 Delsea Drive North. This expansion allows them to fulfill a new vision: creating Sweet Escape, a dedicated dessert-lover haven.

What to Expect at Sweet Escape

While SmashBros focuses on burgers, cheesesteaks, and wings, Sweet Escape will be a dedicated dessert paradise.

  • The Menu: Get ready for indulgence! The menu is slated to feature classics like fluffy pancakes, crispy waffles, gourmet crepes, and thick, flavorful milkshakes.
  • Coffee: Sweet Escape will proudly serve La Colombe Coffee to complement the sweets.
  • The Vibe: The owners envision a softer design direction than SmashBros, aiming for an atmosphere reminiscent of “sweet shops of years past,” creating a charming and inviting space.

Perfect Pairing, Prime Location

The location couldn’t be more convenient for brand fans. Situated directly next to SmashBros Glassboro in the freestanding building at 710 Delsea Drive North (in front of the DoubleTree center with Aldi/Goodwill), Sweet Escape offers the ultimate one-two punch—grab your savory meal, then step next door for a decadent dessert.

Summer Opening Targeted

The Abuhmoud brothers are targeting a Summer 2025 opening for June or July. Construction permits have been submitted, and progress can be followed on the new Sweet Escape Instagram account (@sweetescapeofnj).


The announcement of Sweet Escape is exciting news for Glassboro and South Jersey dessert enthusiasts. Building on the momentum of SmashBros, Moe and Fahmi Abuhmoud are set to create another popular destination, offering a dedicated space for satisfying sweet cravings. Whether enjoyed after a Smash Bros feast or as a destination on its own, Sweet Escape is poised to become a welcome and delicious addition to the Glassboro community this summer.
