WAIKOLOA RESORT — Fashionable Hawaii Islanders have a stylish new option at Queens’ MarketPlace with the opening of Cookies Clothing Company on Dec. 3. Not to be confused with melt-in-your-mouth treats, the popular boutique specializes in the latest women’s dresses, separates and accessories for the colorful island lifestyle.

This is the eighth Cookies store. Owner-operator Christina Cook, best known as “Cookie” for short, was born into the fashion world on Oahu where she learned the business from her parents, Howard and Darcy Cook, founders of the chic Bebe and Bebe Sport lines.

“I was raised in fashion my whole life,” said Cook. “I decided to pursue it as a career after college at the age of 24. Having my own clothing store is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”

Describing the Cookies’ look as “fun, flirty and affordable” Cook continued, “We focus on fashion and styles for all women’s sizes and ages. From age 20-70 we have you covered.”

“Our shopping center is a growing, thriving place for all kinds of shoppers,” said Sales & Operations Manager Margo Bunnell. “And, as the passion for fashion continues to grow, we are excited to keep expanding the Queens’ MarketPlace community of fashion retailers.”
