Christie Cookie Co. is sliding back into downtown with a new retail outpost at Nashville Yards, set to open Saturday. The longtime bakery is firing up a compact walk-up window inside the development's Pinnacle Tower, where staff will bake made-to-order cookies and brownies right on site. The comeback marks Christie’s first brick-and-mortar presence in the city since the company scaled back storefront operations earlier this year.
Nashville Yards lists Christie Cookie Co. among its latest openings and notes that the shop will serve "freshly baked, made-to-order gourmet cookies and brownies" for pick-up and delivery at Pinnacle Tower, according to Nashville Yards. The listing places the bakery steps from The Pinnacle music venue and a growing cluster of new restaurants that developers are counting on to keep foot traffic steady in the downtown district.
What to expect
According to Christie Cookie Co.'s Nashville page, the new window will take pre-orders for its standard menu and will handle pickup and delivery during weekday hours. The company says it will keep offering its signature tins and catering services in addition to walk-up cookie sales. Customers can place orders using the contact information listed on the bakery's Nashville page.
Opening day
The debut landed in this week's "Today in Nashville" roundup, which reported that the grand opening is scheduled for Saturday, according to WSMV. The station framed the new shop as part of Nashville Yards' ongoing rollout of retail and dining spaces, although it did not share any public ribbon-cutting schedule.
Backstory
Christie Cookie traces its roots to the early 1980s and built a loyal local following with neighborhood counters that included a 12 South location, according to What Now Nashville. After closing its last brick-and-mortar shops earlier this year, the brand kept going through online orders and concessions while preparing this Nashville Yards return to retail.
Why it matters
The addition gives downtown workers and concertgoers another quick dessert stop inside Nashville Yards' expanding food lineup, as tourism pages highlight the development's growing mix of dining and entertainment options, according to Visit Music City. Ordering and pickup details remain available on Christie Cookie's Nashville page for anyone planning ahead for a cookie run or catering order.
