## Story

The first Cookie Plug location in Puerto Rico will be in San Juan at 1367 Ashford Avenue and is expected to open in January of 2023.

“We are thrilled to be joining the Cookie Plug team and cannot wait to open our first location in San Juan,’ said CEO of Borisweets and Acai Express, Hector Westerband.

Westerband brings to the table previous experience opening Acai Express locations across both Puerto Rico and the United States.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have Hector and his team join our brand,” said Cookie Plug CEO Chris Wyland. “We’re looking forward to providing delicious, unique cookies to so many new communities across Puerto Rico and we know they will love our cookies as much as we do!”

Founded in 2019, Cookie Plug’s unique concept is inspired by graffiti, street art and hip-hop culture, creating a vibe that is unmatched. The brand serves up delicious, extra-thick cookies, known as “phatties,” that are baked fresh daily at every location.

Each Cookie Plug location offers 16 daily cookie flavors with names such as SnooperDoodle (snickerdoodle), Pixie Junkie (sugar cookie), Purple Haze (purple velvet), The Mac Daddy (white chocolate chip macadamia nut) and of course, the OG (chocolate chip). The Cookie Plug even has four carb-friendly keto flavors, including Kitt, (chocolate chip), Black Magic (chocolate), Bart (peanut butter chocolate), and Calvin (snickerdoodle). In addition to its delicious cookies sold in store, Cookie Plug also offers cookie dough fundraising, catering, and free nationwide shipping.

While the brand uses cannabis slang to name all of its cookies, Cookie Plug’s cookies are 100% kid-friendly and do not contain any cannabis, THC or CBD.
