Upstate Life Magazine Features Cooperstown Cookie Company

The Cooperstown Cookie Co. is a relative youngster — it will celebrate its fifth birthday in October.When it debuted during the eighth annual World Series Gala at the Hall of Fame in 2004, the startup company was not unlike a young baseball prospect beginning his career in the minor leagues. Grady told The Daily Star that her first goal was to succeed in the local market, but added, “We hope we can go beyond that.” After five years of hard work, the Cooperstown Cookie Co. has gotten the call that every minor leaguer dreams about, and now is playing with the big boys.

So how did this company find its way from Cooperstown to the Rachael Ray Show, the shelves of Whole Foods supermarkets, the pages of Town and Country magazine and alongside vendors such as Taco Bell and Bank of America at Major League Baseball’s FanFest 2008? Grady will tell you that a lot of it has to do with the product itself.
