Berner Makes Cover of Forbes Magazine

In August 2022, Berner became the first cannabis executive featured on the cover of Forbes Magazine. The business/financial magazine at that time estimated the worth of the Cookies brand at $150 million. There are more than 50 Cookies brand dispensaries in the United States.
