LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Lincoln is now home to Nebraska’s one and only Insomnia Cookies.
The store is located on the southern edge of UNL’s campus on Q Street.
At its grand opening Saturday night, there were games, music, and a free cookie for everyone who stopped by.
The store has nine traditional flavors, six deluxe flavors, four vegan options, and special limited-time flavors that change every month.
The store is open during the day but stays open until 1 a.m. from Sunday to Wednesday and 3 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Store operations manager Charles McVicker said the idea is to provide cookies for anyone up late needing a snack.
“We really wanna be that like late-night spot for everybody,” he said. “Our main thing here is warm cookies delivered. We’re really focusing on that late-night community and being part of the college as well.”
The company was first opened in 2003 by college students in Pennsylvania, and McVicker said they hope to continue expanding.
He said 15% of the sales from the grand opening will be donated to the Food Bank of Lincoln.
