Crushers, Cup‘r Cone now open on Rehoboth Avenue
Just in time for the influx of summer visitors, Crushers and Cup’r Cone have opened on Rehoboth Avenue in Rehoboth Beach.
Located on the corner property that also runs along Lake Avenue, Crushers is in what was most recently Port 251, while Cup’r Cone is located in the small shack on the other side of the parking lot.
Crushers is owned by restaurateur Bryan Derrickson, who also owns Conch Island Key West Bar and Grill on Rehoboth Avenue Extended and The Hideout Arcade Bar & Grille at Midway on Route 1 between Lewes and Rehoboth. According to a menu online, the restaurant is focused on seafood, but there are other items such as sandwiches, soups and a variety of specialty crushes. Currently, the hours are 3 to 10 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday.
Derrickson said they’ll be open seven days a week as soon as possible. They’re waiting for a couple staff members to be done with classes and there’s room to hire a few more, he said.
Cup’r Cone, owned by Vince Failla, is open 5 to 9 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It will be open daily 3 to 10 p.m., from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Additionally for Cup’r Cone, its truck will be running daily starting Wednesday, May 17. Failla said the truck will be stationed in downtown Lewes most Fridays and Saturdays from 6 to 10 p.m. at 203 E. Savannah Road.
