Founder Lynn Mamakos always dreamed of being an entrepreneur while having the flexibility to raise her children. So, in 1981, with a new born and a $10,000 Mini–Woman’s Business Loan from the SBA, Lynn opened her first corner store in downtown Pittsburgh, PA. The first day was a major success selling out of a weeks’ worth of prepped cookie dough. From that moment on, her business as well as her family continued to grow. Lynn remains President of the company and it continues to be a family affair with her daughters joining team.
