Mystic Ginger In Gloucester Twp. To Open new Location Wednesday

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — A move six months in the making is coming to fruition for Gloucester Township-based Mystic Ginger.

Mystic Ginger, which describes itself as a beauty and wellness space, has moved one block, to 36 South Black Horse Pike in the Blackwood section of the township.

But as the owners explained in a Facebook post, this was “not a simple paint and move-in type situation.”

“Over the last six months, we've gutted the building and started from scratch,” the owners said in the post. “This has included installing all new exhaust ventilation, plumbing, electrical work and beyond. All of this construction work is on top of designing, buying, and building each aspect of each space- all while raising our families, working behind the chair, and running the business.”

They also noted it was in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, with supply chain and worker shortages. The new location is set to open Wednesday.

Kellie D'Ascenzo opened Mystic Ginger, an Organic Salon and Herbal Apothecary, and Local Artist Boutique, in 2019. The establishment offers skin remedies, teas, and 20 local makers that specialize in pottery, jewelry and soaps. The artisans are all from the South Jersey and Philadelphia region.

In the new location, Mystic Ginger has created an “all new Wellness Collective experience with the same welcoming and friendly atmosphere,” township officials said in announcing the business’ move. Their new building will also provide space for community yoga classes, herbalism workshops, mindfulness education and beyond.

“This is our forever home we've built,” the owners said. “Each and every detail of this new space has so much love and intention poured into it. We are so happy to share it all with our amazing community.”
