Coco's Chateau runs two stores, and this is the one on the Gloucester County side. It sits on Glassboro-Cross Keys Road, in the Washington Township section the store notes in its own contact listing. The North Jersey sister is Coco's Chateau in Mine Hill, and the two share one website and its designer collections. For prom shoppers, one claim on that site sets the tone:
We are proud to say that we house one of the largest collections of Sherri Hill in New Jersey.
The site goes further, naming Coco's the most upscale gown boutique in New Jersey, with more than 5,000 of the latest collections from top designers and exclusive lines that department stores don't carry. Prom is listed first among its specialties, ahead of pageant, Sweet 16, quinceañera, bat mitzvah and the rest.
Prom and homecoming, by designer
The store's own collection pages lay out the prom and homecoming side label by label, and several of those labels get homecoming pages or short-dress lines of their own.
Dedicated homecoming pages
Short-dress lines
- Jovani, in prom, evening and short dresses
- Dave and Johnny
- La Femme, long and short
- Tony Bowls
Also on the collection pages
- Sherri Hill, including Sherri Hill Couture
- Alyce long gowns and Alyce Shorties
- Faviana, including Faviana Plus
- Jessica Angel
- Jasz Couture
- Portia and Scarlett
- Musani
- Montage
That's a lot of range for one floor: fitted and sparkly, soft and flowing, short for homecoming and full-length for senior prom. Faviana Plus adds extended sizes to the mix. The store also runs sample sales, a good bet for anyone working with a firm budget.
Homecoming gets real attention here, a plus for younger shoppers buying their first formal. A freshman can find a fall homecoming dress on the same floor where she'll come back for senior prom. Sweet 16 and quinceañera gowns are part of the mix, too.
The business behind both stores also has a serious pageant side. It is the official gown sponsor for Miss New Jersey and Miss New York for Miss America, and for the Miss New Jersey USA and Miss Rhode Island USA pageants. The private Pageant Salon described on the site is part of that same operation, and the designer pages that serve pageant shoppers serve Glassboro prom shoppers, too.

The school map around this store is dense. Glassboro High School and Washington Township High School, one of South Jersey's biggest, are both nearby in Gloucester County. Pitman, Clearview Regional in Mullica Hill, Delsea Regional in Franklinville and Williamstown High School in Monroe Township are all in range, which makes this store a sensible stop for most of southern New Jersey. For Rowan University students, the cocktail and evening racks cover the formals that come after high school.
Glassboro questions
Is the Glassboro store the same business as Coco's Chateau in Mine Hill?
Yes. Both locations share the cocoschateau.com website and its designer collections, with Glassboro serving South Jersey and Mine Hill serving the north.
Can I walk in at the Glassboro location?
Plan on booking. The store is by appointment only, and booking requires a credit card to hold your slot.
