"I remember doing a radio interview a while back in Merced - it was my 3rd or 4th time there - except this time I was able to see how much love and support I had as an artist in that community. So many people asked me (even while I was eating dinner), 'Bern where's the Cookies?' It feels good to bring all the new new to Merced, especially in a time like this," said Berner, founder and CEO of Cookies on the move to Merced.

There is no better time to increase access to Cookies' world-famous genetics than a time like this and opening the Merced location means that people who would typically travel upwards of 2 hours to shop the brand can now do so in their own community. Berner's Merced will be opening on May 15, 2020. Customers are encouraged to take advantage of order ahead, curbside pickup and delivery - special swag and prizes for those customers who do so on opening day.
