Thank you  for believing and investing in our brand, The Cookie Department through our Wefunder campaign https://wefunder.com/thecookiedepartment!  We've had some great success since the capital raise launch, and as you are now an investor with a vested interest in our growth,  I wanted to share some of our wins!

1. In the past 30 days we've closed, and have started shipping product to the following new accounts:

- VitaCost.com
- Amazon.com
- Kroger's Home Ship Beta Program
- Soda Express (Oregon snack food distributor)
- Portland State University retail
- University of Portland dining services
- Reed College dining services
- Lewis & Clark College retail & dining services
- Fred Meyer (Kroger) corporate office dining services
- Columbia Sportsware corporate office dining services
- Standard Insurance corporate office dining services
- BPA corporate office dining services

2. We've hired two Inside Sales Reps to grow our direct climbing gym business, as there are over 800 climbing gyms throughout the country and our cookies are currently flying off the shelves in just over 80 of them.  Our sell through rate at climbing gyms is historically exceptional, generally selling more cookies in one busy climbing gym than we might in 5 combined grocery stores monthly.  Hiring these inside Sales Reps is key to our success in building our climbing gym customer base and our overall retail footprint.  

3. We have meetings scheduled with OHSU dining services and Daimler corporate dining services for next week.


In regards to the Wefunder capital raise https://wefunder.com/thecookiedepartment, we are just over $83,000 with an ultimate goal of raising $600,000.  Please please please share our campaign with other potential investors, friends and family to support even greater growth of our company, and thus your investment!   

All the best,

Akiva
