Though the Hotel at the University of Maryland, Terrapin Row, ArtHouse and the Landmark apartment complex projects are attracting new businesses to College Park, there is no confirmation regarding whether Insomnia Cookies will face competition. “College Park was an easy decision in that regard.” “We look for locations with an active community that we can really become a part of,” said Courtney Altamura, Insomnia Cookies’ marketing manager. However, with increased emphasis on College Park’s and Route 1’s revitalizations, this time Insomnia Cookies might be able to find a permanent home in the area. In spite of its reputation, students at the time were disappointed to lose the bakery that delivered College Park a sense of town character and style. Insomnia Cookies opened on Route 1 in 2005 and shared its space with Tasti D-Lite, a long-gone ice cream and frozen yogurt chain, according to The Baltimore Sun. The bakery occupied a space in Terrapin Station, the building that houses restaurants such as Slices, Kiyoko Express and Ovo Simply Veggie. “It would be so nice to have around.”īut many undergraduate students don’t remember Insomnia Cookies’ first attempt to build its presence in College Park.Īfter three rocky years of multiple managers and slow delivery, Insomnia Cookies’ first College Park location closed in 2008, according to an article written by Kristi Tousignant, a former staff writer for The Diamondback. “There’s tons of nights when I’m like ‘I just want a cookie’ and run to 7-Eleven and get cookie dough,” said Reena Patel, a junior family science major. Insomnia Cookies also offers a late-night delivery service, which makes it especially popular among students. The franchise has more than 60 branches nationwide, with most locations found near institutions such as Johns Hopkins University, Syracuse University and New York University. Insomnia Cookies, a bakery franchise, sells cookies, brownies and cake among other desserts. “Who doesn’t like cookies?” said junior Jewish studies major Sophie Weiss.
