NEW BUFFALO, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 9, 2025--

International cannabis lifestyle brand Cookies Michigan is relaunching under new ownership with the opening of a new retail location in New Buffalo on Oct. 11, marking a powerful commitment to the local cannabis community.

This opening of this location is the result of a strategic move between Cookies and a new management team, whose established connection to Michigan and extensive distribution network created the perfect collaboration between brands to push the envelope for cannabis in the Midwest. “We are pulling up to Cookies New Buffalo this upcoming Saturday, October 11th! Michigan has always shown me so much love and I’m so excited to be there in person. Come through at 10 a.m. and get some fire products with our new incredible partner Terra,” said Berner, Co-Founder and CEO of Cookies. With this new location, Cookies is re-centering their presence in the midwest with unrivaled product quality, trusted cultivation partnerships and a culture-first approach.

Located just minutes from the Indiana border and under an hour from Illinois, the store sits at the intersection of three key cannabis markets. The 2,000-square-foot space is more than just a retail space. It is a cannabis community hub that will showcase a curated selection from Cookies and other top brands, exclusive drops and culture-driven events that engage locals and operators alike. Under the new management team, Cookies is launching for the first time in Michigan exclusive items like 2g Dual Chamber Disposables, 3g Triple Chamber Disposables, 200mg Lemonnade Gummies and exclusive strains only available in the state market.

“We’re proud to return with a renewed focus on quality,” said Trick Trick, the acclaimed rapper and record producer who is supporting the relaunch of Cookies Michigan. “By working with the best cultivators in the state, we can once again bring Michigan the best products. This relaunch is about showcasing what made Cookies a name people trust — and we’re excited to introduce new products that will raise the bar even higher.”

The store’s opening weekend kicks off Oct. 11 with a special in-store meet and greet with Berner, the co-founder and CEO of Cookies and legendary Michigan local artists Trick Trick and White Boy Rick and others. The celebration will include giveaways, food vendors, a live DJ and storewide sales up to 40% off. All customers will receive a free goody bag, and exclusive new product drops will be available in limited quantities.

The New Buffalo location is located at 19001 US-12 New Buffalo, MI, 49117 and joins two other Cookies dispensaries in Grand Rapids and Monroe. Cookies New Buffalo will be open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. To stay updated on launch-week activities, product drops and future announcements, visit www.cookies.co
