TerrAscend Debuts Cookies And Gage Brands in New Jersey
TORONTO, June 2, 2022 /CNW/ – TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend” or the “Company”) (CSE: TER) (OTCQX: TRSSF), a leading North American cannabis operator, today announced that it will officially launch Cookies and Gage-branded cannabis products in the State of New Jersey, on Saturday, June 11th. These products will be available exclusively at The Apothecarium locations in Maplewood and Phillipsburg.
Cookies, California’s top-selling cannabis lifestyle brand, co-founded by rapper and entrepreneur Berner alongside his renowned breeder and cultivation partner, Jai, is the most globally recognized cannabis brand in the world. Cookies is known for its game-changing genetics and diverse selection of over 70 cannabis cultivars and 2,000 products. Cookies’ initial New Jersey products will feature eighths of proprietary cultivars, including Gary Payton, Georgia Pie, Apples and Bananas, Soap, Doggy Bag, Pancakes, Jealousy, and Laughing Gas.
In the coming months, TerrAscend plans to offer additional Cookies products including accessories, more cultivars and vape cartridges at its “Cookies Corners” in all three New Jersey Apothecarium dispensaries, subject to regulatory approval.
Gage, Michigan’s premium cannabis brand debuted in 2019 and has since become a household name in the state. Known for their high-quality cannabis, world class genetics and award-winning retail stores, Gage cultivates exceptional cannabis with uncompromising high standards for customers who love and respect the potency of flower. In March 2022, TerrAscend closed on the acquisition of Gage.
Gage’s East Coast launch includes eighths and liquid live resin cartridges in the cultivars Banana Bread and Kush Mintz. TerrAscend plans to launch additional Gage-branded eighths and vape carts in cultivars like Funfetti, Ether OG, Strawberry Shortcake, Sundae Driver, Sweet Tartz, Grape Gummiez, Rainbow Pie, Beach Berries, Dream Candy, Loud Cake, and Popscotti in the coming weeks. New Jersey customers can also find Gage accessories and apparel at all Apothecarium locations.
“We’re excited to be launching these influential cannabis brands in the fastest growing adult use market on the East Coast” said Jason Wild, Executive Chairman of TerrAscend. “Launching Cookies and Gage alongside our Kind Tree and Valhalla brands demonstrates our commitment to offering the best products and experiences in the Garden State.”
“We have taken our time to ensure quality and exclusive flavor are properly represented in this market. With the streets thriving on the unregulated market and the access to quality weed being more available than ever, it’s important that we come correct when we drop. I’m so proud of TerrAscend for taking the time to dial in our SOPs and dedicating their facility to our brand. The East Coast can expect an evolving menu that will spoil the lungs of smokers and connoisseurs,” said Berner, Co-Founder and CEO of Cookies.
To celebrate the launch of GAGE and Cookies, the Company will offer in-store promotions and prizes at its Maplewood and Phillipsburg Apothecarium locations on June 11th. For more information about product availability and store hours, please visit The Apothecarium website.
