Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Beloved Customers,
It is with a mix of deep gratitude and a heavy heart that we share some significant news with our community. After nearly seven wonderful years, Gold Rush Cookie Company will be closing its doors on Sunday, June 7, 2026.
This was an extremely difficult decision — one we did not arrive at lightly. As we look toward the next chapter of our lives and our goal of retirement in the coming years, along with some personal circumstances, we have made the bittersweet choice to step away from this business we have poured our hearts into for so long.
What we have built here over the past seven years is something we are incredibly proud of — not just the cookies, but the community that grew around them. Grass Valley and all of Nevada County have embraced us in ways we never could have imagined, and that support has meant everything to us. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for every visit, every smile, and every kind word. You have made this journey truly special.
We are happy to share that the business is still for sale, and we are actively seeking the right person or family to become the next caretakers of Gold Rush Cookie Company — someone who will cherish and carry on the traditions we have built here in this wonderful community. If you or someone you know may be interested, please reach out to us directly via email.
We hope to see many of you over these final days of operation. Come in for one last cookie — or a few. We will be here with open arms and warm ovens until the very end.
With so much love and gratitude,
Mark Gold & Karen Nathanson
Gold Rush Cookie Company
