While most 10-year old kids are playing video games, Cory Nieves is busy being an entrepreneur. Known on Instagram for his style, Cory has over 34,000 followers, and leveraged this following when starting his business. Mr. Cory’s Cookies sells $1 cookies in a wagon that Cory and his mom take around town, selling around 1,000 every weekend. His mom, who refers to herself as the COO, acknowledges that her son is her boss! His Instagram tagline states “Driven, Focus, Inspired, a 10 year old Entrepreneur need we say more.”
Having already scored an appearance on Ellen, Cory seems to be on the road to success. I liked how much initiative he has, and I hope it continues! Though the cookies-in-a-wagon business may not last long-term, I’m excited to see what Cory thinks of next (with his mom’s help, of course!).
I think it is awesome to see such a young kid show such entrepreneurial spirit! I agree with Emily, I cannot wait to see what he does next.
When I saw your title “Fifth Grade Fortune”, I was immediately draw to read this blog. I am always interested in reading the stories of young entrepreneurs and each time I read about one, I am always blown away. I love the fact that he sells cookies around his town. Who knew something so simple could make you so famous?!
I would definitely buy cookies from this little kid. His style alone attracts followers, which is incredible! He will definitely go far in life, showing this much initiative at such a young age. Perfect example of how a small idea can realistically be transformed into a growing business.
I love the spunk of this young entrepreneur! His infectious style and drive combined make him quite the celebrity. It’s also a beautiful story of a mother supporting her son even in the small ideas (and look what that small idea became)! I am certainly looking forward to Cory’s future business ventures!
