A new bakery has opened in the city centre with famous faces rolling out the welcome carpet. Insomnia Cookies, a brand with more than 300 stores worldwide, is known for its freshly baked cookies, cookie sandwiches and indulgent shakes served until 5am.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2003 by Seth Berkowitz<\/a>, who came up with the idea as a college student craving late-night treats, the company has since expanded across the UK. Liverpool\u2019s first Insomnia Cookies bakery<\/a> will open in the former Sips cocktail bar on Slater Street<\/a>, with doors officially opening on Saturday, December 13.<\/p>\n

The grand opening kicked off at 2pm today, featuring appearances from famous viral faces Queen of Scotty Road and Michael Aldag. The launch will run throughout the day and into the early hours of the morning, with a live DJ set at 8pm to keep the celebration going.<\/p>\n

The first person in line at the opening received a year’s supply of cookies, with the following 50 people getting their hands on free merchandise. Everyone in attendance was given a complimentary warm cookie and was entered into a draw to win an array of prizes.<\/p>\n
