I wanted to share some updates with you all.  It's been a very interesting year so far!  

  • We've completed tests on a vegan sweet potato cranberry oatmeal cookie cone for ice cream and yogurt stores.  We're partnering with one of the largest cone manufacturers in the United States to co-pack the product for us.  The yogurt chain, Tutti Frutti has tested the cones and loves the product.  They are working on implementing these cones into their menu for a national roll out.
  • Due to popular demand from current and pipeline customers we have decided to launch two GLUTEN FREE and KETO cookies.  Pipeline accounts who have requested samples include: Smoothie king, 7-Eleven, Juice It Up and Europa Sports Products which is a distributor with a worldwide presence.  These cookies include Double Chocolate Mint and Birthday Cake flavor.  They both have 4 NET CARBS & 1 GRAM of SUGAR.  
  • Ben & Jerry's corporate have requested samples of our KETO cookies.  They are also going to be reviewing our vegan cookie ice cream cones next week. 
  • We're working with the chain Tutti Frutti (700 worldwide locations) to test our current packaged cookies with their Southern CA locations (up to 53 locations).  If the test is successful, they plan to promote the line to their complete network of franchisees.
  • We're in the process of testing our normal line of packaged cookies with the smoothie and juice chain Juice It Up (Southern CA chain).  We have another couple of weeks to go.  If successful, they will approve the line for their franchised locations.  
  • Our packaged cookie line is currently being reviewed by Albertsons/Safeway for the NW region.  

Some of our new wins for Q1 2019 include: 

  • Intel corporate campus cafeterias. (in three of the eight cafeterias on campus so far with the potential for 5 more to come) - employee count is 20,000.  
  • Nike corporate campus cafeteria - employee count - 10,000. 
  • We became an approved vendor for USG (https://www.unifiedstrategiesgroup.com).  USG is made up of over 400 vending operator members throughout the country.  USG is buying group for these operators. 
  • We finally launched our new website.  www.thecookiedepartment.com

We're currently at just over $85,000 raised of our $600,000 goal.  Please share our campaign with as many people as you can to insure that we can successfully achieve our goal.  This round will be over on April 26th.
