Cory Nieves was just six when he started dreaming up an idea. He was tired of riding the bus to school everyday so he wanted to start saving up for a car. So, he started selling hot cocoa and lemonade to gain some money. However, this was just a shoe in for hi later idea that gave him the money he needed for a car. With his mother and aunts help, he created a cookie that had all natural ingredients. Over a couple months they perfected this recipe and soon the cookies took off. At age seventeen Mr. Cory was running a full blown business. They were selling to Whole Foods, Williams Sonoma, and J. Crew and Pottery Barn. Now, Cory wishes to go college and hopefully invests in his upcoming future with all the money that he has made during his now childhood endeavors.
What a cool story. Crazy how one cookie recipe can take a business so far. What a testament to how anyone can truly make an impact if you’re really willing to work at it, no matter how old you are. I am interested to see if he sticks with the cookie thing after college or if he changes it up!
