Cookie closures: Two more Louisville Crumbls shut

Two Crumbl Cookies locations in the Louisville area are now permanently closed, bringing the total number of recent shutdowns in the region to three. The stores on Bardstown Road in Fern Creek and at the Paddock Shops listed their status as permanently closed online. Phone messages at both addresses also confirmed the news to customers.

The closures involve franchise owners Richard and Emily Diamond. Their store on Hubbards Lane in St. Matthews shut down following a bankruptcy filing on Oct. 1. At that time, an attorney for the business told Louisville Business First that the legal action would not affect the couple's other Louisville locations. However, the attorney recently said he was not aware of the Fern Creek or Paddock Shops closures. He also noted that the owners had not filed for bankruptcy again.

Court records for the St. Matthews business showed more than $352,000 in debt and about $10,000 in assets at the time of the filing. The records also indicated the business had lost more than $17,000 in 2026. The Paddock Shops location opened in 2022. The Fern Creek store followed in 2023, and the St. Matthews location opened in 2024.

Crumbl Cookies continues to operate three other stores in the Louisville area. These locations are in Valley Station, Jeffersontown Commons, and Middletown.
