Things are about to get a little sweeter in Edgewood.
The Atlanta neighborhood is going to be the site of the fifth Insomnia Cookies store in Atlanta and eighth in Georgia.
Insomnia Cookies’ newest Atlanta location will be at 619 Edgewood Ave., which is just east of downtown and Little Five Points.
Launching with a grand opening party Saturday, March 13, attendees will be able to enjoy one free cookie in-store and take advantage of free delivery in Atlanta. Other treats are offered at certain time frames, including a free lil’ dipper — with mini cookies and icing — and mystery gift card for the first 25 patrons from noon to 8 p.m. They’ll also get a free ice cream scoop in-store with any purchase. From 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., customers wearing pajamas can receive a free six-pack with purchase. There will also be a “Sink a Shot” milk pong challenge where customers can win free product vouchers and swag.
“Filled with a mix of hot spots, popular eateries, culture, and entertainment, Insomnia Cookies will be perfectly located to compliment all of these experiences, especially late-night cravings,” an email announcing the upcoming debut said.
The shop will be open as late as 2 a.m. three days a week and will offer delivery beginning at noon most days, with late-night delivery until 1 a.m. or later. Delivery will be available in the Edgewood neighborhood and adjacent east side communities. Visit the website for details on retail and delivery hours. And when you’re eager for a taste of the shop’s, gooey, sweet cookies or decadent ice cream sandwiches you can order online.
