COOKIES coming to Florida, prepared to open in 2021!

  Posted by Samantha J. Gross of the Miami Herald 09/22/2020. A California-based cannabis company known for its celebrity partnerships, colorful marketing and crowd-drawing interiors is headed to Florida. COOKIES, headed up by Bay-area rapper Gilbert Anthony Milan Jr., or “Berner,” has acquired one of Florida’s 22 coveted medical marijuana treatment center licenses. The company has made plans to begin business in 2021. The license was purchased from Port Richey license holder Tree King-Tree Farm Inc., which has not dispensed any medical marijuana since it acquired its license in May 2019. The transfer was finalized Friday, according to the state’s Office of Medical Marijuana. A COOKIES spokeswoman declined to disclose details of the deal, including the value of the purchase. Berner, who is of Mexican descent, is the first person of color to hold a license in Florida. He got his start in cannabis at 18 as a manager at a medical marijuana dispensary in San Francisco, and by 2012 he founded his own brand, COOKIES, with partner Jai Chang, a Bay Area grower. The company has grown dramatically since, expanding nationwide as well as to Spain and Israel. In a recent interview with Forbes, Berner disclosed his flagship stores make $100,000 to $200,000 a day, with a new location in Los Angeles often reaching $450,000 in a single day. Reviews of the dispensaries tell of interiors “unlike any shop” and lines that wrap around the buildings. COOKIES, which boasts strains with names like “Cereal Milk, “Collins Ave” and “Sticky Buns” has had success partnering with celebrities like rapper Rick Ross and hip-hop duo Run The Jewels. The brand also sells streetwear, accessories and a curated selection of smoking paraphernalia. Berner said in a statement Tuesday that the Florida acquisition is a “major milestone” for the brand. We here at Herbin’ Living can not wait for him to come join the South Florida Cannabis Family.
