New Roy Rogers restaurant opens, sparking widespread public interest and excitement in Cherry Hill.
Roy Rogers, a nostalgic fast-food franchise, has made a significant comeback in South Jersey, opening a new location on Haddonfield Road in Cherry Hill. The excitement surrounding the launch, which took place approximately six weeks ago, remains palpable as diners flock to the restaurant for a taste of their childhood. This renewed enthusiasm for Roy Rogers is evident as patrons, some of whom have not experienced the chain in decades, line up for their signature offerings, including the Fixin’s Bar which allows for customizations.
Cherry Hill resident Diane Polito, who reminisces about childhood visits to Roy Rogers, expressed eagerness to introduce her children to the fast-food experience that shaped her early years. Customers are driving considerable distances, diverting from their usual routes, to enjoy what they describe as a compelling mix of nostalgia and flavor. Media News Source has reported that the restaurant’s relaunch has sparked a wave of community interest.
In addition to the fast-food excitement, Cherry Hill is currently addressing environmental concerns. Recent soil samples collected from the construction sites of the Estelle V. Malberg Early Childhood Center and Joyce Kilmer Elementary School revealed arsenic levels exceeding acceptable thresholds. This contamination is believed to be linked to the historical use of these sites as farmland, where fertilizers were prevalent. The school district is collaborating with environmental engineers and the Department of Environmental Protection to facilitate proper remediation.
Moreover, the township is advancing community infrastructure initiatives. Plans have been set in motion to install new sidewalks as part of a .9 million project aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety. These improvements will connect key areas, with particular focus on increasing accessibility to busy roads throughout the township.
On the culinary scene, Cherry Hill is also poised to welcome new dining options, including the upcoming openings of Taco spot Tacoria and sushi restaurant Sushi Boss. Meanwhile, the popular Medium Rare chain continues to expand its reach, with its latest location being developed in the area.
Overall, Cherry Hill is navigating a dynamic period marked by a return of beloved eateries, significant community projects, and local environmental accountability. The community’s engagement in these developments reflects not only a strong local identity but also a commitment to enhancing the quality of life in the township.
