Serving Up Success

In these hard economic times, it’s refreshing to hear a small business success story. Of course, it’s even better when the success being discussed is your own!

The Cooperstown Cookie Company is now featured in a profile on our county’s economic development web site. I was able to launch the company with the help of Otsego County’s Micro Enterprise Revolving Loan Fund. This is one of the tools Otsego County Economic Development uses to build a better regional economy here in Central New York State.

We’re grateful for that initial loan which helped us achieve success in the local, regional and national level. In case you’re new to my blog, the Cooperstown Cookie Company has a new agreement with Major League Baseball, and can now sell our baseball treats emblazoned with customers’ favorite MLB team names and logos. Never one to rest on our laurels, we at the Cooperstown Cookie Company are working even harder to delight our customers, whether it’s a young fan celebrating a birthday with our Ballpark Bunt Boxes, or a major retailer signing on to carrying our products nationwide.

Hi Friends,

Just wanted to share that the Cooperstown Cookie Company has won the Breakthrough Award from the Otsego County Chamber.  “These awards celebrate the true backbone of upstate New York and the nation’s economy,” said Rob Robinson, President & CEO of The Otsego County Chamber. The award will be presented at the Small Business Banquet, Thursday, October 9, 2008 at the Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown.

“The Cooperstown Cookie Company is a true statement of what the free enterprise system is all about,” noted Jim Jordan of James Jordan Associates, Architects, the sponsor of the Breakthrough Award.

The Cooperstown Cookie Company is delighted to receive the Breakthrough Award. We’re approaching our fourth year in business, and it’s been a wild, wonderful ride. With hard work, flexibility and a great-tasting baseball cookie, the Cooperstown Cookie Company has gained customers nationwide and abroad,
terrific media coverage and great support from the baseball community.  Our baseball cookies and treats celebrate the region, and we’re glad to be a part of this great community.

Our baseball cookies are enjoyed nationwide, and it’s nice to know the Cooperstown Cookie Company can still earn kudos in our own backyard.  Thanks to the Otsego County Chamber for this special recognition.

Best,

Pati
