Bang Cookies opening first Jersey Shore store at this new shopping center

OCEAN TOWNSHIP – Bang Cookies, the organic cookie sensation, will open a store on Route 35 in Ocean Township, its first cookie shop at the Jersey Shore.

A sign that reads, “Coming Soon Bang Cookies,” has gone up above a 1,500-square-foot storefront at Ocean Commons, a new shopping center at the corner of Route 35 and Deal Road. A representative of Bang Cookies could not be reached for comment on Thursday regarding a potential opening date.

Founded in 2016 by owner George Kuan, Bang Cookies has grown from a farmer’s market stand and now has six locations, with two in Jersey City and others at Menlo Park Mall in Edison, Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport, American Dream in East Rutherford and in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. It is now franchising.

Bang Cookies touts its “super-sized” cookies with flavors that include Sea Salt Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Triple Chocolate.

Its cookies are made with organic ingredients, including organic flour, organic cane sugar and organic chocolate.

“Bang Cookies is a luxe, all-natural, organic cookie company that was built as a response to run-of-the-mill, unsatisfying cookies,” the company said on its website. “But don’t be fooled, our giant cookies are just as rich and sinfully delicious as they are #Instagrammable.”

In Ocean Commons, Bang Cookies is located next to LA Bikini and across from Strollo’s Lighthouse. Other tenants include Miller’s Ale House, Wawa, Chick-fil-A, Turning Point and Qdoba Mexican Eats.
