One of the most globally respected cannabis companies on the market, Cookies recently announced new licensing agreements with operator TerrAscend to bring its products to New Jersey. Established by rapper Berner and his cultivation partner Jai in 2008, Cookies offers a collection of over 150 proprietary cannabis varieties and product lines, everything from flower and vapes to CBD and medicinal mushrooms. The brand’s success in its native California has been explosive and revolutionary for the cannabis industry; now it’s time to take the East Coast by storm.
Berner’s enthusiasm for the move is infectious. “We could not be more excited to announce Cookies’ expansion to the East Coast and entrance into the very important market of New Jersey,” he said. “In addition to our staple flavors, we have been working with TerrAscend on a unique Cookies menu that will only be offered in New Jersey. Add that to the first Cookies retail experience, located in the shadow of the famous 'Bada Bing' from The Sopranos, this launch is going to be epic on every level!”
TerrAscend already has a 140,000 square foot cultivation and processing facility located in New Jersey, and several locations of Apothecarium Alternative Treatment Centers throughout the state. Under the agreements, each Apothecarium will feature a “Cookies Corner” store-within-a-store.
“There are few other brands that have the reach and following of Cookies,” said Jason Wild, Executive Chairman of TerrAscend. “We look forward to building a strong partnership with Berner and team to bring its suite of world-class products to the New Jersey market.”
