Cookies opened its first store in the heart of Toronto, Canada last Thursday in collaboration with local partner Gage. The cannabis brand is located at 278A Queen Street West, and sells products from both brands, Cookies and Gage, grown by Noya Cannabis.
This is the 12th dispensary in North America operated by Gage and the first Cookies store in Canada.
“It feels good to be in a position to diversify the current flavor profile in the Canadian market, with a flagship store in Toronto,” the rapper said in a statement. “Bringing our customer journey to Canadian markets is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” he adds, noting that the dispensary will aim to pay close attention to customer needs.

“Some of my favorite strains growing up were from Canada – {Nade} and {Champagne Aka Pell} were staples. […] . I think the Canadian connoisseur will be proud to have Cookies, and Noya already knows our cultivation standards, and has already done a lot for the Cookies brand in Canada,” Berner said.
Fabian Monaco, CEO of Gage, added, “We are super excited about the iconic launch of the first Cookies store in Canada. Working with Berner and his team to finally bring Cookies to the Canadian market validates the careful processes we’ve developed at Gage, and we look forward to bringing our unique retail platform to the Canadian public. ”
