Cory Nieves, a six year-old from New Jersey, started a hot chocolate business in hopes to make enough money to buy his mom a car. He says, “I was tired of taking the bus and I wanted to help my mom.” He began selling hot chocolate for $1 and soon recognized the potential to grow his business with more treats. He researched for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe and after a few months of researching, he found one that people loved and took seriously. He took advantage of every opportunity to sell, going to festivals and fairs, pitching his cookie to potential customers. He quickly became known as “Mr. Cory” hence his company name, Mr. Cory’s Cookies. He attracted recognition fast and he appeared on shows and news networks such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show and CNBC’s The Profit. After these appearances, his company took off and he soon launched his own e-commerce site so that he could sell cookies to anyone across the country. Mr. Cory’s Cookies has expanded since. They offer over 14 flavors and they even have flavors for health conscious customers. Cory has also had the chance to work with many large customers such as Macy’s, J Crew, Ralph Lauren, TOMS, and more. Cory’s company also works with non-profits around his local area. Cory entrepreneurial spirit is evident and inspiring. He inspires my thinking because he started off with such a big goal that might’ve seemed impossible, yet he chased after it with determination and today he has exceeded his goal.
