Cory Nieves at six years old told his mom that he was tired of taking the bus and wanted to save money to get a car. Cory always loved making baked goods with his mom, Lisa and therefore decided to try to sell cookies and hot cocoa. Through his love for treats and entrepreneurial spirit he started Mr. Cory’s cookies and his business only boomed from there. Once Lisa realized how successful the company was actually becoming, she wanted Cory or “Mr.Cory” to start saving money for college. With the company succeeding, Cory wanted to expand by creating more than just the perfect chocolate chip cookie and found an opportunity in the field and make more flavors from the highest quality ingredients. This led to the company partnering and interacting with several companies such as Pottery Barn, Whole Foods and such more.
Cory has simply found a way to turn a hobby into a profitable business. Cory just wants to make the world better and he does this through his hobby. It is amazing how someone so young can innovate like he has by simply making a hobby into a business opportunity. He displays many entrepreneurial traits such as innovation, commitment, drive and has the right mission behind his business by doing something he loves and making other people around the world happy because they just deserve a cookie.
That’s such a sweet idea! It is true that even the youngest of entrepreneurs can make a difference in the world. Sometimes combining a passion with a need can create the best ideas for companies too. Is there a website where I can order?
It is very impressive that someone his age was able to turn their passion as a profitable business as well as use those profits to pay for college. Next, it is interesting that he was able to expand his business from just the simple but perfect chocolate chip cookie to producing multiple flavors of cookies using fresh ingredients.
This story is so inspiring because it is about a little boy who had an issue and fixed a problem. And it is amazing that he was able to make a business out of this cookie company at such a young age.
I love this idea! I think its so cool that at such a young age he found his passion which he followed through with so successfully.
