Cory Nieves: Mr. Cory’s Cookies
At 6 years old, Cory Nieves found himself frustrated in having to ride the bus every day to school. He would complain to his mom about this, but soon realized the only way to fix this issue would be to save up for a car. While most kids would have stopped there and moved on, Cory decided to take action into his own hands.
Cory constructed a business selling cookies in his hometown in New Jersey. He soon expanded to also selling hot cocoa and lemonade. Cory and his mother, Lisa Howard, became business partners in the fast-growing company and soon began working on testing out various recipes they created until they finally discovered the perfect combination for chocolate chip cookies.
While the duo started with chocolate chip cookies, they have since expanded to create 10 additional flavors. The company values natural, organic, and quality ingredients in their products, which has been very well received by the public.
What began as a small project to help his mom buy a car has turned into something truly remarkable. Cory had started baking his cookies in his home kitchen, however, his mother and he eventually upgraded to a commercial kitchen to keep up with demand. They now mass produce their cookies nationwide. The cookies are sold on various platforms, including Amazon. Cory has also made more than enough to buy a car by now, however he has no plans of stopping. He was actually featured on the Ellen Show, where she gifted him a car – While this was an incredible moment for him and his mom, their goals are now much bigger than the initial car.
Ultimately, Cory Nieves and his mom looked at what they had and could do, and created something incredible. Cory has a great future ahead of him, considering how he became a successful entrepreneur at 6 years old, a millionaire by the time he was 15, and now is 18 with so many more great things ahead of him.
