A Local Favorite Is Getting a Permanent Home
Who doesn’t love cookies? I love baking them at home, but anytime I’m at the mall, walk past a bakery with fresh cookies, or even see an Insomnia Cookies, I immediately want to stop.

I’ll admit, I’m just a little bitter about it because I really wanted to try Siciliano Subs before they closed. But at least another delicious business is moving in and calling it home.
No official opening date has been announced yet, but just knowing it’s coming is enough to have me planning my first visit already.
