Cookie Plug opens third Florida location in Wesley Chapel this weekend

by Alexandria Ebron

If you’re a cookie lover like me, there are plenty of options in the Greater Tampa Bay Area to satisfy that craving. Edgy cookie spot Cookie Plug joins the rank this weekend when they open their third Florida location. 

“I was initially drawn to the creativity of the concept and the nod to hip hop culture that Cookie Plug brings to the table but then the minute I tasted the cookies, I was hooked,” says franchise owner David Johnson. “We are particularly excited to serve the Wesley Chapel community in a space that is surrounded by thriving businesses, shops and homes. We are eager to bring this sweet addition to the area, offering thick-cut cookies in a variety of flavors that are unlike anything else you can get in Tampa Bay and beyond.”

 

Originally founded in Riverside, California in 2019, Cookie Plug is inspired by graffiti and street art. Cookies are made fresh daily with part cake, part brownie and part cookie. The menu offers 12 different recipes including s’mores, chocolate chip, sugar, fruity pebbles, triple chocolate, strawberry cheesecake, red velvet, snickerdoodle and more. Keto options are available plus mini “plug popper” cookies, ice cream sandwiches and custom cakes.

“We have an incredible product and I can’t wait for locals in Wesley Chapel and Tampa Bay to experience it for themselves,” said David Denker, president and chief growth officer of Cookie Plug. “The energy that surrounds each location is unique to the area which is one of the coolest aspects of Cookie Plug. It brings people together through the common interests found in that specific community and I’m eager to watch that unfold in Florida as we grow our footprint across the state.”

Cookie Plug Wesley Chapel sits at 6013 Wesley Chapel Grove Blvd., Suite 102. Grand opening festivities are slated for Saturday, June 28. Everyone is invited to celebrate from 11 a.m. to midnight. The party comes complete with samples of signature cookie recipes, specials, music and more. Those who attend can take advantage of the grand opening special: buy four single cookies and get eight free with the purchase of a drink.

Cookie Plug will be open Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m, offering pickup, delivery and catering services.
