PHILADELPHIA,
PA (February 22, 2023) – The Philadelphia Flyers and Wells Fargo Center
have announced Insomnia Cookies, the
beloved local cult brand known for serving warm cookies all day and late into
the night, as the “Official Cookie of the Philadelphia Flyers.” As part of the
multi-year deal and the bakery’s first in-arena vendor partnership, fans can
look forward to frequenting two Insomnia Cookies locations within the New Wells
Fargo Center, which will be serving up the brand’s warm, delicious cookies and
signature Cookies
IN Ice Cream beginning this month. A limited assortment of Insomnia Cookies
will also be available at concessions throughout the arena and as a dessert
option in suites.

“Official Cookie of the Philadelphia Flyers,” fans can expect Insomnia to create
in-arena signage and activations to build its ever-growing community of loyal
Insomniacs. The brand will be baking up even more Philadelphia-wide promotions beginning
February 24, including giving out a FREE Classic cookie with any purchase when fans
show their mobile app in-store the day after a Flyers home game win.
Additionally, Insomnia will serve as a presenting partner of the Flyers’ Student Rush
promotion, offering discounted tickets to local college students, and help to keep
the party going after home games by hosting several “Flyers After Dark” events,
where Insomniacs can celebrate sweet wins with sweet treats and might even
catch a glimpse of the infamous Gritty.
