DETROIT, Jan. 27, 2022 /CNW/ – Gage Growth Corp. (“Gage” or the “Company”) (CSE: GAGE) (OTCQX: GAEGF), a leading high-quality premium cannabis brand today announced plans to open a flagship Cookies dispensary in the heart of Toronto, Canada. (“Cookies Toronto”) on Saturday, January 29th, 2022 at 9 am ET. Cookies, Cookie Dough World will be located at 278A Queen Street West. Cookies Toronto will offer Cookies and Gage branded products cultivated by NOYA Cannabis Inc, their exclusive collective production partner.
Cookies Toronto will become Gage’s 12th dispensary in North America and the first Cookies location in Canada. The flagship dispensary, operated by Gage through an exclusive partnership with Cookies, will carry the entire collection of Cookies products. Selected by rapper Berner through his company Cookies, these strains are hand-selected to give you the highest quality cannabis possible. These hand-selected strains will include GP20, Georgia Pie, Medellin, Lions Mane, Soap, and more. In addition to these iconic Cookies strains, the partnership will introduce additional Cookies brands such as Lemonnade, Minntz, Runtz, Grandiflora, Powerzzzup, RTJ, and Collins Ave. to Canadian adult-use consumers.
“Some of my favorite strains growing up originated from Canada – the { Nade } and { champagne Aka Pelli } were staples,” said Berner, Co-Founder, and CEO of Cookies. “It feels good to be in a position to diversify the current flavor profile on the Canadian market, with a flagship store in Toronto. I am confident that Cookies will become your number one chocolate export from Canada. Not only does Noya have a reputation for the best chocolate cultivation in the country, but their introduction of Cookies to the Canadian market has been an overwhelming success. Introducing our customer journey to the Canadian markets has been my goal for a long time now, and I hope Canadians will like the special attention our customers get.
“We are super excited for the iconic launch of the first Cookies store in Canada,” said Fabian Monaco, CEO of Gage. “Working with Berner and his team to finally introduce Cookies to the Canadian market validates the painstaking processes we’ve developed at Gage, and we’re eager to provide Canadian audiences with our unique and engaging retail platform. Launching the first Cookies store in Canada will bring an unparalleled experience to our growing consumer community while offering direct access to one of the leading brands in the cannabis industry.”
