KALAMAZOO, MI — Cookies is the newest cannabis store in Kalamazoo, with plans to open for business on Friday, Feb. 26.

The store will open for curbside buying only at 9 a.m. Friday.
Cookies is an international cannabis lifestyle brand founded by California rapper and entrepreneur, Berner. The store is open to medical and adult-use, or recreational, customers. It will carry the entire family of Cookies offerings, including Cookies, Lemonnade, Runtz, Powerzzzup Genetics, Minntz and Grandiflora product lines.
“The Midwest is an important part of Cookies’ overall expansion plan, and our partnership with Gage Cannabis has been integral,” Cookies CEO Berner said in a news release. “We’ve seen tremendous demand from cannabis consumers in Michigan and the surrounding areas and look forward to continuing to serve them as our partnership grows with this second location.”
The Kalamazoo store is the second Cookies location in Michigan. The first location opened in 2020 at 6030 East 8 Mile Road, in Detroit.
Gage Cannabis is the exclusive partner of Cookies in Michigan, according to the business. Kalamazoo’s Cookies store will be Gage’s seventh retail location in Michigan.

Throughout grand opening weekend, there will be raffles and promotional giveaways. Comedian and YouTube personality Carlos Davis will visit the storefront, the business said.

The city of Kalamazoo approved new rules to allow cannabis businesses including growers, processors, retailers, consumption lounges and others, in May 2020. The city’s approved social equity policy is designed to help people who have been impacted by marijuana related enforcement in the past to enter the now legal industry, and provides some applicants with a discount and other benefits.
