LINDON — Crumbl Cookies announced Sunday the company has plans to open stores in Australia after an unofficial cookie debacle occurred in Sydney.

Crumbl is “thrilled” to expand to Australia and started an official Crumbl Australia Instagram account to mark the occasion, the cookie company said in a press release. Details on specific locations and dates were not released.

“The team at Crumbl has been amazed by the support of fans in Australia over recent weeks. Crumbl has been inspired to accelerate plans to provide all dessert-loving Aussies with a true Crumbl experience,” a press release said.

This announcement comes a week after some Australian Crumbl fans flew to the U.S., bought hundreds of cookies, imported them to Australia, then resold them at a pop-up shop in Sydney. The cookies sold for a whopping $17.50 in Australian dollars, equivalent to about $12 in the U.S.

The situation went viral on TikTok, with dozens of people in the days following posting reviews of the cookies, some claiming the stunt was illegal and others praising the “hustle” of the organizers.
