NEW YORK CITY, NY – Chip City Cookies, the gourmet cookie brand that offers different flavors of cookies every week, has announced plans to open six new locations in New York City and Long Island. The additional locations will be at Merrick, East Northport, North Babylon, Carnegie Hill, StuyTown, and Bay Plaza, following the recent opening of the Tribeca store in March.
The new stores will bring the brand’s footprint to over 40 open units by the end of 2023, strengthening its position in the competitive cookie segment.
Founded in 2017 by childhood friends Peter Phillips and Theodore Gailas, Chip City Cookies began as a hobby, challenging each other to make the best cookies. The company now has 18 locations across New York and New Jersey, and has plans to expand into new markets in Florida, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. in 2023.
“We are thrilled to open our doors six more times in New York this year,” said Chip City founder and CEO Phillips. “This opening is another incredible step forward for the brand and the business mission we have – to make communities smile through the quality of our products and to make our employees feel purpose in their communities.”
The brand rotates more than 40 unique flavors every year, such as Peanut Butter & Jelly, the Everything Cookie, Oatmeal Apple Pie, Blueberry Cheesecake, S’Mores, Lemon Berry and Cannoli Cookie. Every week, the menu changes to offer classic flavors and seasonal varieties.
Chip City Cookies received a $10 million investment in 2022 from Enlightened Hospitality Investments, the growth equity fund associated with Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG). The investment will be used to support the brand’s multi-state expansion and growth of its direct-to-consumer business, bolstered by its ship-anywhere partnership with Uber Eats.
