Suffolk County, NY – Chip City Cookies, the popular gourmet cookie brand, is adding to New York’s reputation as the Cookie State with the opening of its newest location in Suffolk County. With plans to open a total of six stores throughout the state in 2023, Chip City Cookies continues to establish itself as a go-to destination for cookie lovers. The new store, situated in the heart of the New York City suburbs, represents a significant milestone as it marks the halfway point of the brand’s expansion plans for the year.
Founder and CEO of Chip City Cookies, Peter Phillips, expressed his excitement about the ongoing expansion. “We are thrilled to be opening six new locations in New York this year,” said Phillips. “These openings are a major step forward for our brand.”
Chip City Cookies has gained popularity for its creative and flavorful cookie combinations, combining traditional baking principles with generous portions. The brand rotates as many as forty different cookie varieties, with a selection of six featured weekly. Currently, New York and neighboring New Jersey are home to 18 Chip City Cookies locations. The brand also has plans to expand to new markets, including Florida, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C., with a goal of reaching 40 open units nationwide by the end of 2023.
The brand’s success story began with a friendly challenge between childhood friends from Astoria, Queens, Peter Phillips and Theodore Gailas. As they competed to create the tastiest cookie, they realized they were both developing inventive and delicious recipes. This led to the opening of a small storefront and the birth of a dream to not only start their own cookie business but also provide aspiring entrepreneurs with the opportunity to enter the rapidly growing food industry segment with a high-quality product.
Phillips explained that the decision to offer franchising opportunities aligns with their brand mission. “Our goal is to bring joy to communities through the quality of our products and to empower our franchise owners and employees to make a positive impact in their communities,” he said.
With their commitment to quality, variety, and community impact, Chip City Cookies continues to captivate the taste buds of cookie enthusiasts and expand its presence across New York and beyond.
