The growing cookie brand continues to spread its gourmet goodness throughout Long Island at their newest location at 1948 Jericho Turnpike, East Northport, NY 11731.
“We are thrilled to be opening our doors six times throughout New York this year,” said Chip City Cookies founder and CEO Peter Phillips. “These openings are an incredible step forward for the brand.”
Chip City Cookies has been enjoying a growing popularity thanks to a reputation for creative, flavorful combinations mixed with traditional baking principles and generous cookie portions. As many as forty different varieties are rotated in and out with typically a half-dozen choices featured weekly. The brand’s home state of New York and neighboring New Jersey currently have 18 locations, and new markets including Florida, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. are also in the plans to be the latest additions to the brand’s growing national footprint, with an overall expansion goal of 40 open units by the end of 2023.
The in-demand brand was born of a friendly challenge between childhood friends from Astoria, Queens. Betting which of the two could make a better tasting cookie, pals Peter Phillips and Theodore Gailas realized they were both creating some inventive and delicious recipes in their efforts to top each other. A small storefront and some baking equipment followed, and with it a dream was born to share their good fortune by not only starting their own cookie business, but provide other entrepreneurs with an opportunity to start their own business with a quality product in a segment in the food industry gaining rapid popularity.
Phillips explains that their decision to create a franchising opportunity was born out of their brand mission. “Our goal is to make communities smile through the quality of our products and to make our owners and employees feel purpose in their communities,” he said
With an extensive range of flavor profiles that range from traditional Chocolate Chip to Cherry Almond Pie included in the rotating menu, every trip offers a chance to discover new favorites.
In 2022, Chip City Cookies received a $10 million investment infusion from Enlightened Hospitality Investments (EHI), the growth equity fund connected to Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG). The investment supports their goal of multi-state expansion and growth of their direct-to-consumer business, bolstered by its ship-anywhere partnership with Uber Eats. The brand also offers corporate gifting and catering capabilities. With several opportunities for revenue streams and a commitment to quality, variety, and expansion, it’s clear that Chip CIty Cookies is on the precipice of a cookie revolution!
