Sep. 2—A Lindon, Utah-based cookie franchise is expanding to Spokane.
Lance Hemsley filed a building permit application with the city to convert a 1,600-square-foot space into a Crumbl Cookies location at 7808 N. Division St., Suite 4.

Jason McGowan and Sawyer Hemsley co-founded Crumbl Cookies in Logan, Utah, in 2017. The two cousins gathered feedback from customers and tested recipes to create what they describe as the "world's best chocolate chip cookie," according to the company's website.
At Crumbl Cookies, customers are able to see the cookie-making process in real time as employees roll dough, bake cookies and apply various toppings.
As Crumbl Cookies grew, it added curbside pickup, catering and nationwide shipping, in addition to takeout and delivery services.
The company also introduced a rotating weekly cookie menu with four flavors in 2018. Crumbl Cookies regularly adds new flavors, some of which are inspired by pies, cakes and candy, according to the company's website.
Crumbl Cookies has expanded to more than 300 bakeries in 36 states nationwide. It has 17 locations in Washington, including three in the Tri-Cities.
Crumbl Cookies also operates a bakery in Coeur d'Alene.
