It’s all the rage! Mad Glass Rage Room is coming to Stratford NJ, moving into the Stratford Square Shopping Center which is also home to Goodwill and Tejas Fresh Mexican Cuisine.
Locals likely know the location from when Bradlees discount retailer operated in an adjacent building. That former Bradlees building was approved as a light industrial warehouse.
Participants put on safety gear and protective covering, and then take turns grabbing a sledgehammer and smash through old TV’s, printers, bottles, glass furniture and more.
And to really get creative they typically will have a variety of destruction devices such as crowbars, baseball bats or even just a good old pipe.
It’s just like that scene out of the Office Space movie where the coworking friends were so frustrated by the office printer they took it out to a field and just beat the heck out of it!
It’s a great stress relief with a little extra splash of adrenaline because your getting to destroy things… well in a way that normally you are just not allowed to do.
It can be a fun night with friends or even as a team building event for your company. And who doesn’t like some good old fashioned destruction!?
Mad Glass does have a social media presence with Instagram and Facebook, but there’s not a lot of details available at this time. It’s likely just very early in the process as it was only a few weeks ago they received their approval from Stratford, and were able to make the official announcement.
Last year I see that the Patch news website had a story about Mad Glass Rage Room wanting to move into the Blenheim section of Gloucester Township taking over a former Wawa. For that location last year Gloucester Township was a requiring them to be granted a zoning approval.
Looking at the Gloucester Township meeting minutes for the Zoning Meeting even though four of the six board members voted Yes to the proposal, it still ended up being application denied. I assume they needed a fifth vote to make that happen in Gloucester Township.
It appears that with that denial the ownership team of Mad Glass moved on and found the suitable location in Stratford.
The meeting minutes for that Zoning Meeting last year described the owner as a disabled veteran who in 2022 tried to find a Rage Room in South Jersey and realize the closest one at the time was up in East Brunswick… and the ideal to start a new location in South Jersey was born!
Customers make an appointment and pay for 20 minute sessions. All participants must be adults, or as young as 13 if they are with their parent.
It was stated last year that more recently rage rooms have opened in the Moorestown Mall and Pennsauken.
