Whimsy Cookie Co. announced that its store on Southlake Boulevard has closed.
Opening in September 2019, Whimsy Cookie Co. is a Tennessee franchise originating from co-owners Laurie Suriff and Collins Tuohy Smith. With the Southlake location at 2645 E. Southlake Blvd., Suite 180 operated by Sheridan Gleason and Sharon Hicks, Whimsy Cookie Co. quickly became known for its frosted sugar cookies and its gooey butter cookies made from cake batter. It was also named a finalist in the bakery and desserts category in Southlake Style’s Readers’ Choice 2021.
On Monday, Nov. 1, the store announced via Facebook that it was closing indefinitely until further notice.
“While we regret this decision, due to COVID, rising commodity prices, supply chain issues and failure of people to return to work… we had no choice,” Sharon and Sheridan say in the announcement. “We wish you and your families all the best.”
While the Southlake store has closed, orders can still be shipped from Whimsy Cookie’s headquarters online at WhimsyCookieCo.com.
