Jason Fruman, President of The Great Cookie states, “I grew up two blocks from this location. We’ve been working on a plan for expansion outside of malls into communities around Baltimore and there was no better place to start than in the community where I grew up. We’ve been humbled by the number of customers that have come in since our soft opening and how happy they are to have us in the community. It is great to be back in the neighborhood.”
The new Liberty Court store will host the official grand opening celebration on Saturday, May 2, 2015 at 12 p.m. and the company will be giving away free Baltimore orange Great Cookie t-shirts to the first 500 paying customers as well as random drawings for free cookies throughout the day.
The new location will also handle baking and fulfillment for the company’s expanding eCommerce and corporate business. The company now ships fresh baked cookies and cookie cakes all over the country and is partnering with companies that use customizable cookie tins for sales and marketing support.
“We were growing out of our previous location as the eCommerce and corporate business is expanding. The Liberty Court location is much larger than a typical Great Cookie store and we are leveraging the additional footprint to bake and ship our large volume orders in addition to operating the community based retail store", says Jaime Elwood, Director of Business Development & eCommerce.
