Insomnia Cookies opened its Lexington location at noon on Monday and will provide UK and the surrounding areas with warm cookies and cold milk in-store from noon to 3 a.m. every day of the week.

The Jersey Street store delivers from 4 p.m. to 2:45 a.m. during the work week and from 1 p.m. on weekends, according to the store’s website, through online orders, phone calls or use of the Insomnia Cookies app.

About 80 percent of Insomnia Cookies locations serve college campuses, wrote marketing manager Courtney Altamura in an email to the Kentucky Kernel.

The company was created by then-University of Pennsylvania student Seth Berkowitz in 2003 and has since expanded to more than 50 locations in the U.S., according to the company’s website.

The Lexington location will distribute free cookie coupons across UK’s campus this week, Altamura wrote, or students can use a coupon printout from the store’s Facebook page to try the new wares.
